A bit young but I got excited! Definite and distinct minerality. Plum, clove, balsamic, vanilla, dark chocolate. Balanced and structured, with smooth, elegant tannins. A nice expression of 2012, everything I want in a Brunello!

Showing excellently, enjoyed over a couple of hours after opening for about half an hour. Sharp, perfumed mineral notes give way to violet, blackberry, cassis, and baking spices and a bit of vanilla. Telltale earthiness and a bit of rusticity at the bottom, but exceptionally smooth with great structure. This went wonderfully with everything from beef tenderloin to grilled scallops and vegetables. The mandarin chutney in the scallop dish brought out plums and griotte cherry in the wine.
