Nose just comes out of the gates like a screaming mimi. Gorgeous cherry. Soupy and super clean. Floral. Cherry flower. Stunning florals. Irises and lilacs. Just a beautiful nose. Full Brunello Symphony. Spices galore. Palate is stunningly deeply fruited. Sappy and pure. So clean. Deep black and late season red cherries but so fresh. Superbly elegant and very concentrated with powerful and powdery tannins. Substantial structure and freshness. So pure. Velvety and energetic.

Very enjoyable but expected more considering how good the 2001 non riserva is... Nice balance and really quite delicious, but not terribly complex.

At opening, still quite solid. Lots of aroma is coming from the surface. It makes me feel hot. Cherry, a bit sweet, cigar. Elegant! @9180, Amazon-XH , 181123-190726
