A deep, dark plum color with cherry tinges and a wide brim. This smells exactly as a young Brunello should smell. Cherries for days and days and days. Leather and lace and prominent spices. If you give it plenty of time in the decanter, it really is so pretty.
So this is young but has a ton of promise. The tannins are earthy and firm and there’s spice everywhere, which I love. A bit one note on the palate initially but does gain a bit of complexity over time. On the second day, it starts to sing. You’ll get more chocolate and hazelnut notes. Buy this wine. Buy a few. Drink one now and let the other babies sit. You’ll be rewarded.

Expressive and rich. Herbaceous and floral lavender and rosemary. Supple clove, tobacco, raisin. Subtle wood and lingering soft berries, fig. The nose goes on for days. Literally every sniff reveals more awesomeness. Earth. Sip….persistent soft berry, plum. Balanced fruit and acid. Sharp white pepper as it finishes. Bliss in a bottle.
