Lots of graphite, muddy cherry, bit of a hot finish but still a sense of juiciness, even if tannins are still pointy. It'll take a while. Maybe 2,3 yrs?

This is a lovely wine. Initially a little tight, but it opens beautifully and has a lovely balance of fruit and tannins. Nice structure and discipline. Might be expensive for a Rosso, but, honestly, it is better than many Brunellos that I have had. A winner.

Yummy light to medium bodied red with light tannins. Nose of dark fruits, and taste of dark berries, plum.
