Brief notes with the Christmas buzz happening. See previous notes from April 2021. This was a sensational Brunello from a good vintage. Has developed more leathery, smoky, earthy notes to go with the red fruited, menthol accented notes from previous tastings. An excellent accompaniment to Georgie’s puttanesca linguini. Sadly my last 2007.

Herbs and sweet spices on the nose, tertiary aromas on the palate, with good tannins and acidity to leave it kicking.
Nice mouthfeel.

Dark tawny color. Great Brunello nose. Notes of black fruit, dried brush, some dusty earth and some wood. Tannins integrated nicely and a well balanced delivery. In a great spot.

Jul 6th, 2021With Lamb Chops on Easter Sunday. Crimson with a tawny rim. Aromas of menthol and freshly turned earth together with McBarens Plumcake Pipe Tobacco - after a while Lavender. On the palate very savoury dry plum, cherry with a touch of licorice and tar. Medium bodied with fine persistent tannins. An excellent Brunello from a good vintage.
