Drinking fantastic. Rustic and smooth with loads of cherry and herb notes. Tomato leaf and a slight tobacco.

A lovely Brunello more on the mild rather than the intense side, very elegant and well made. Lovely color nose of chocolate, coffee and black currents, with spicy cherry, medium to full body with pleasant tannins and good acidity, balanced and elegant with a lingering finish. My score 88+, drink to 2020

Начинается тонким ягодным ароматом, брусника, клюква, в развитии немного ванили и сливочной ириски. Хорошая структура, неагрессивные танины, много лесных ягод. Умеренное послевкусие.

My dad and hubby drank this at Thanksgiving and said it was a very good dry red.

The 2009 had an Inviting aroma, smooth yet invigorating taste
