Thursday, July 15, 2021 - Vintage Tuscany Zoom tasting. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of dark leather, dark red cherries, black cherries, perfumed spices, vanilla oak, hints of truffle and earth and Tuscan dust. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (15%), grippy puckery high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with enveloping layer of creamy vanilla oak, black cherries, dark red plums, dark red cherries, sweet spices, dark leather, balsamic, earth with hint of emerging truffle. Long grippy puckery finish.
Good quality. Serious modern-styled Brunello - perfect drinking now with air. Somehow I feel it doesn't have the balance for more ageing. Better to drink up soon. Style could rub some the wrong way.
