  Humming along; darker fruited, more modern Brunello, but so well executed. We visited them in Italy years ago and this still holds up as a supremely serious effort even compared to some of the more traditional gems. Plus I'd say the riper year benefits earlier drinking.

  Serious (traditional) brunello, bit harsh still. Leave few years. Black cherry, cherry, wood. Think 91-93 in a few years.

  붉은 과일향. 입안을 가득 채워주는 포근한 탄닌.
  뒤로 갈수록 사랑스런 여인이 들고있는 화려한 꽃다발 같은 느낌의 와인이었다.

  My second time tasting a DCC Brunello. I decanted and strained, and I let it breathe for three hours. The 2017 needs to be cellared for about 7 to 8 years. It is a tannin bomb that has an undercurrent of fruit. I sipped it over three evening's, and it began to open up on evening three. I think that this will be a very nice wine one day, and definitely better than the 2016. Is it worth $60 a bottle? Only time will tell.
