After 50-min decant: Well balanced. Medium complexity. Cherry, blackberry, clay, smoked paprika. Lively acidity. Silky integrated tannins. Long finish.

Decanted and tasted, wow this is good so rich, smooth dark fruit, plum, black cherry, currants, paired exceptionally with prime rib and roasted root veggies.

Pale to medium garnet, nose of cherries, plums, rose. Medium body, dark and red fruits, slight minerality, medium soft tannins and acid nicely balanced. Decanted 1 hour.

I decanted it for 30 minute and then placed back into the bottle to go to a close by restaurant. During the first 20 minutes it was to fruity and overpowering but after a while it got really good, nice aromas of flowers with a hint of cocoa. Nice to pair it with a salon, or not to fatty meat.
It’s ready to go, drink now!

Decated 1 hr, drank over 2 hrs, paired with thick Angus filets. Beautiful Brunello, quite approachable, lots of plum, dark cherry, cassis, balanced by earthy minerals. Very nice and should last 10+ years in a consistent cool evioroment

PNP, nice Brunello, good fruit, earthy, yet balanced, fully integrated but should hold for several more years.

Method: blind; 64 degrees; Grassl Liberte glass
Nose: clay pot, black licorice, leather, cherry, potpourri
Palate: cherry, paprika, cola, clay pot, leather; long finish of leather, rose, dried thyme; dry; medium+ drying tannin; medium acidity
Overall thoughts: Nice complexity, but I'm not a fan of these tannins. I think I'd like this more in 5+ years. Good wine, but it's too young for me.

Tabac. Herbes séchées. Anis. Fruits rouges confits. Belle profondeur. Typique.

Soft aromatic nose of floral and fruit. Dark cherries, light minerality, fine tannins with soft mouthfeel. Decanted 1 hour

Very nice Brunello. Would like to try the same wine from a more acclaimed vintage.

Very young but also very good at this stage. This is a big and meaty Brunello. Beautiful nose and nice fruit taste. Should be good for any years.

Decent, good acidity with potential to improve a little bit more. But nothing great here.

Clarity and precision, racy with that mineral backbone, this is an excellent Brunello.

One of the most delicious bottles I've ever had. The winery is great, we visited ourselves and did a tour as well.
