Wild cherry, pomegranate, shortbread, and baker’s chocolate fondant. One of the better Brunellos I’ve had in recent memory. This was a very pleasant surprise at Wine Spectator’s Grand Tour in New Orleans. There might be a bit of potential built into my score. DQ and I agreed on most wines at this event, but this one was more polarizing.

WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): This got a great score from WS but this was not a fave for me. I’ll refrain from scoring because clearly there is a style of BdM that is more subtle and elegant and I am just not versant in what that should look like. My notes say pale color, roses and cherries.

4/19/2024 - Red fruit and floral perfumed on the nose. Still young and structured considering the vintage with tannins on the finish. Elegant and layered with red fruit, leather and earthy notes. Eager to see evolution in a couple years

Deep garnet in color, elegant fusion of red fruit and spices with soft tannins and silky texture. Good structure but ready to drink.
