A solid bargain-priced Brunello. Nose has hot gravel and brick, leather, and dark berry scents. Just a tad scorchy. Dark, stewed fruit in the mouth competes with lots of scorched earth and slightly astringent tannins. A little heat too. I’d give this a few more years and hope the tannins resolve a bit more.

What a difference a year makes - Kelly was NOT a fan of the 2016, but the 2017 earns high marks from her; Craig liked it as well once it had a chance to breath a bit.
