Friday, May 27, 2022 - Brunello Friday night at ESBK. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl 1855.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, pronounced intensity, with aromas of fragrant Tuscan earth, toast oak, dark leather, dark red cherries, black cherries, perfumed spices. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (15%), rounded high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with enveloping layer of creamy oak, black cherries, very ripe dark red plums, dark red cherries, sweet oak spices, dark leather, licorice, sweet earth. Long plummy finish.
Good quality. Just very slight difference from the previous sample I tried. Maybe a touch fresher. Still big serious modern-styled Brunello anyways.
