Dark but clear ruby. Black cherry and patent leather nose portends the medium full, leathery black cherry palate. Medium acidity from entry wrapped in supple medium tannins. Finish is lengthy and continues the palate. Rosso di Montalcino — the “Prince” red of Tuscany — is the bellwether for Brunello and Val di Suga’s entry predicts great things for the “King” in the 2019 vintage. Enjoy this with all classic fare from pizza to pork loin to Osso Bucco. Drink now and imagine what’s four years down the line.

I tried a Brunello a few years back that I absolutely loved that I didn't get the name of, and have been chasing the dragon ever since. I found it in this bottle. Incredibly flavorful and bright fruit flavors, hint of tannins, not overly sweet at all.

On the austere side for a Brunello from an excellent vintage. Plenty of acidity retained.
