Very clearly Brunello on the nose and palate with nice red cherries, dark earth and rose with good acidity. A little green pepper brought it down a notch for me, but I definitely liked it. Medium finish.

Deep ruby-violet color. Nose of dark fruit. Dark fruit and children's vitamins on the palate followed by an off-putting vegetal taste which lingered into the finish and kind of killed it.

Color was a not quite pale garnet. Nose was bright red fruit and crushed sweet tarts with a floral component. Palate with clean, focused red fruit with great acidity balancing the richness. Can't overemphasize the tannins. Then a long finish. Great wine.
