Brought from our cellar. I stopped off at the house to pull the cork over my lunch break in anticipation of this requiring some air. Tight, as I suspected. Decanted five hours before returning it to the bottle for transport to the restaurant. At Monarch, they returned it to a swan decanter and it sat another two hours. Ultimately it was poured to accompany the 45-day dry-aged Wagyu Prime Rib-Eye. Hell yeah! This was snappy red and dark fruits, black tea, dried herbs, crushed gravel...awesome body...sexy structure. The finish lasts for over a minute. Exquisite! Give these time.

Bright red with a pale rim. Knockout aromas and flavors of spicy red cherry, licorice, cedar and aromatic herbs. Clean, ripe and round, with saline nuances lingering nicely on the smooth but very lively finish. A classic Brunello from Voliero. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2018)

Same winemaker as Uccelliera. Ready to drink. These 09 brunellos are developing quickly!

Though young, very enjoyable. Lithe and elegant with really high-toned red berry fruit, some savory mid palate notes developing, pleasant level of Brett.

Cherries with slight leather an tar - light mouthfeel, moderate tannin, likely would benefit from several hours decant

Max didn’t care for it - it was hollow on the mid palate. And a bit rough on the medium finish- and tannins not as well refined and integrated as would have hoped.
