NOSE: raspberry leaf, cherry, crayola …chlorophyll…cocoa.

TASTE: silky, bitter chocolate, tobacco, earth, savoury spice, cinnamon — fruit is black cherry and a little currant — some vanilla/banana also. Minerals. Slightly less acidity than I expected for a Brunello (though not flabby at all) — silky. Surprisingly excellent, TJ’s is on a roll — superb deal. 93.

Medium garnet hue. Aromas of cherry, earthy, licorice, mushroom, sage. Medium body, with medium tannins and plus acidity. Soft and silky on the palate. Lengthy finish. Not complex, but very balanced and easy drinking.

Good but not sure we’d get again. Lighter in color. Dryer. Not really special but highly tjs cost.
