Thursday, June 15, 2023 - Medium garnet with reflections of red. An assertive Brunello, but for 2017, a pretty delicious one. On the nose this is a touch subdued offering lightly baked aromas of dried red cherries, red raspberries, roses, dried thyme, scorched clay, cloves, and a touch of nutty oxidation. Nearly full-bodied on the palate with medium+ acidity and drying tannins that are nicely balanced by jaunty red fruit and herbes de Provence flavors. This isn't the classiest Capanna Brunello I've ever had, but in the context of 2017, it is tough to fault it.
