2018 Vintage of a legendary large producer. Great balance, a bit too tannic for years aging and perhaps requires decanting, breathing. Having visited the winery a few years ago - beautiful Tuscan facility, would like to say more nice things but the Summary is: nice Brunello. Probably a decent value, but only time will tell

A light fragrance…
Very soft and smooth on the palate!
Very juicy and jammy, with a very clean and smooth finish! I understand why Michael Angelo traded for this wine!
So easy to drink and has a slight finish of spice.

Nice and dry. But otherwise light and easy drinking.
