December 7, 2022 - This is aggressively oaked, as Siro Pacenti ages everything in French barriques, but it’s far too much for the fruit of this inferior vintage to handle. The result is a nose reminiscent of bourbon with notes of caramel, clove, pine, acetone, and banana peel. On the palate there’s front-loaded prune liqueur and dried cherry quickly followed by cedar smoke and dry oak. It finishes with pleasantly fine-grained tannins that give a nod to the high quality of production despite the year. But it’s a case where the prescribed barrel strategy (in tandem with Brunello’s oak-ageing requirement) has forced a poor harvest to endure the same treatment that only a great vintage might deserve.
