2012 was a dry year, giving smaller berries with thicker skins. This elegant wine is perfumed, with violet and floral notes. On the palate there is leather, tar and cedar, alongside black cherries. Good structure in balance with the fruit. The finish is long and there is some complexity. Drinking now and over the next 10 years.

Drank from a magnum. In the perfect spot it after ten minutes air. Black plum, mint, eucalyptus, milk chocolate and leather. Aged but not secondary. Still plenty of years to to but peaking now for my taste.

Medium garnet in glass. Medium plus intensity on the nose. Sour cherries, menthol, balsam and roses. Medium acidity and medium plus tannins. Lithe, pretty. Beautiful finish that carries on. From magnum.

3 hour slow ox followed by flash decant. Don’t know why this producer doesn’t get more love. Wines are consistently amazing. Drink now with air but may yet improve. Stunning brunello.
