A rich, full bodied modern style Chianti with abundant oak and moderate tannins. Good value and well made if you like this more modern style. (1423 views)

Medium light red with a touch of brick color. Juicy, ripe light red cherry fruit with grippy tannins and good acidity. Well balanced Brunello that tends to be more elegant than powerful, which I like. Good producer, but their prices have gone up a lot lately. (339 views)

My last bottle of this vintage and what a pleasant surprise. After a disappointing prior bottle a couple of years ago and some initial funk and strong tannins, it’s settled down after a couple hours, the dried red cherry fruit emerged . Medium dark ruby color. Chambord, dusty tannins, tobacco leaf. Drink now but the right bottle correctly stored could continue to impress (1170 views)

This Brunello continues to age nicely. Prior notes still apply. Medium garnet. Beautiful dried red fruit, orange peel, almost sappy, countered with ample but balanced tannins and earthy and leather tertiary notes. More Dusty and earthy with age. 14.5% abv. (5047 views)

This wine fooled me. I didn’t decant it in when I initially tasted it and I thought the fruit had faded and that the wine was good but past peak. Fortunately, I saved some wine and on day two the wine was really in a perfect place. Classic Brunello red cherry fruit, earthy, spice, and moderate tannins. (1611 views)

Really excellent Brunello. Medium dark red color. Medium to full bodied for a Brunello, with rich dried red cherry (with some black cherry notes), some tobacco leaf, and licorice. Lush but not over extracted. Perfect now but already excellent with lots of potential. (1996 views)

Delicious. Quite tight and structured as expected on day one but still compelling, with dried red and cherry fruits, tart acidity, and earth. Best on day three. (1075 views)

I found this Brunello to be surprisingly approachable and well balanced, despite its relative youth. Sure, it will improve with age, but the tannins are well integrated, so you can enjoy it now or save it for later. (1855 views)

This wine continues to impress. Really in a great spot now. Medium light ruby, dried ripe red cherry, moderate tannins, 14.5% abv but not hot. Long finish. It's arguable too young, but too good to wait. (3910 views)

No contemporaneous notes but I think Andice's tasting note captures the wine well. Young wine but quite delicious. (2057 views)

No contemporaneous notes and not decanted but it was surprisingly approachable, rich but not cloying, and well balanced. Certainly looking forward to enjoying other bottles in the future. (2592 views)

Not the best vintage, but it’s drinking well now, and it is a good example of a well-made Brunello. Drink now to 2024. (1817 views)
