fabulous brunello. From nose to entry to finish, just fabulous all around. Drinking well now, but can't wait to see them age. Have another few in the cellar. Silky smooth.

First taste of this 2016 and it’s going to age really well! Ripe black cherries, blackberries and black spices. Tannins are present with chocolate, leather and forest floor. This will pair nicely with a tomahawk steak.
