In a weird place right now. Very good for the first 30 minutes but with additional air it starts to shut down.

Nose is lovely cherry. A bit dusty.

Palate is cherry soda. Elegant. Nice spice. Juicy. Not very dense. Tastes more like a Rosso. Delicious. Grippy. Maybe a hint of vegetal.

Nose:
Cranberry
Bright red fruit
Tart
Cured meat/bresaola
Leaves, mushroom, moss
Forrest floor
Iron character (rusty nails) – from Tuscany

Palate:
Dry wine
Mouth-watering acidity
Tart red fruits
Forrest floor
Oregano, tomato, sage – like herbs, tomato sauce
Balance between tannin and acidity
Imagining it with veal chop, fat to deal with acid/tannin
Leathery notes.

More or less a Brunello cliche. Not a great QPR, but not in any way upsetting or offensive either.
