Everything you want in an excellent brunello: cherries, plum, tar, lead pencil, grip, very fine tannins, long drying out burn.

Bright cherry upfront. Nice long finish. Leathery taste on the follow through. Just how I like my wines! Will get better with age

Still quite early for this vintage, starts off very flat but mellows out in the glass, with nice earth and leather. Would recommend decanting first.
