Simple, straightforward Brunello. A little earth, a little structure. Lots of red and black cherry. An enjoyable drink-now Brunello, but there are Morellino di Scansanos out there that deliver a similar profile with a lot more bang for the buck. However, if you've gotta have something that says Brunello, then this is about as good as any intro-priced bottling I've had.

Year 2005 - excellent elegant and highest quality Sangiovese nose and taste. Some tender overripe berries and some animal notes.
