Showed much better after a couple hours open. This wine is still pretty big and tight initially. Shows a little more finesse after some time open. Still has plenty of life.

Rich, big, new world style brunello. Still very young, took awhile to open up, showing decent complexity, but needs some time to show the varietal correct characteristics and finesse of a good brunello

Vanilla, ripe red fruits and sweet spices on the rather closed nose. On the palate sweet and sour red fruits, exotic spices, kirsch and aromatic herbs. Still on the youngish side, but already accessible with ample breathing. Good balance.

Tasted after the rosso, this was richer, with a bit of spice. Good. 89-90
