Lifted fragrance of red fruits with a rustic vanilla cedar liquorice backbone. The age is adding savoury complexity, evolving through each taste. Great palate with tannins and acid. Drinking great.

I was skeptical of a $25 Brunello. Aroma of apple and dark fruits. Initial taste of butter. Smokey finish.
