Complicated wine. Cooked plums and cherries, heavy VA, balsamic, band aid, dried roses and violets, rich and meaty. Heavily flawed but still somewhat delicious. Glad we paid $26 instead of $47.

Wonderful nose of tea, rose and cherry. Great balanced structure between acidity and tannins and a long lasting finish.

It's a predictable Brunello. And its ok because it means that the wine is excellent. The fruits are subdued. Vanilla, tobacco and some chocolate notes dominate on my nose and in mouth.

A bit one dimensional, was expecting more since the 2010 vintage was ranked #1 by JS.
