Very disappointing, basically nothing there. I don’t think it was spoiled, however little to no fruit and color was off. I did give it about two hours to come around in our glasses before we gave up. My experience with Valdicava has not been very positive. And I thought I loved Brunello?
As this bottle was opened with a Coravin, we will revisit this weekend to see if there’s any difference.

This is an incredibly plush, rich, well-balanced, luxurious Cabernet, with a perfect mouth feel. Is it deep, dark color, rich dark fruit, cassis, some graphite. Rich and plush keep coming to mind, sip after sip. Perfectly balanced in every way. This bottle had so much crystals/tartrates that it poured very slowly. So very glad we have a few left.
