Medium orange-rimmed ruby in color. Not too expressive on the nose: some dried flowers, albeit with stems and potting soil. Medium plus bodied. Medium minus acidity. Dry with nice initial palate feel but then gives way to bitterness and somewhat rough tannins. Medium alcohol at 14.0ABV but feels hotter. Some cranberry/unripe strawberry left, but not much else--pehaps some woody vanilla. At 8 years old, I would expect some tertiary flavors to have begun to develop. I don't think this is improving. It's a strong Brunello with a stiff upper lip, would pair well with a Florentine steak, but not elegant.

Rustic... This comes across as a Chanti Classico Riserva. Red fruit on the front, earth, bitter chocolate, with a a bit of heat. Enjoyable tannins. This will get much much better!

This is lip-smacking yummy! Balsamic, plum, hibiscus, and subtle, smokey vanilla on the nose, with smooth as silk tannins and fresh med ++ acidity. Balance, length, and super aging potential as well. Great to drink now, but I predict it will get even more complex as it ages.
