Translucent darker ruby. Nose of sharp red berry, hawthorn, forest floor, alpine floral notes, fine earth. Layers of dark raspberry, iron particles, spicy dirt, and briar on the finely-wrought palate. Splendid acidity and firm, barely filed off tannin. Longer finish of black cherry fruit cut with ferric notes, deep earth, and medicinal austerity. Showing well now and capable of positive evolution for years yet.

Coravin sampling next to an Il Poggione Brunello 2010, which is actually quite a good comparison. The wines are stylistically not that far apart and with time in the glass grow towards each other rather than apart. This can last another 10 years easily based on tannic structure.

Enjoyable and fresh, nice mix of red and dark fruits, earth. Medium everything. Can’t see much upside to aging.

Rusticity and more earthy than expected. I’ll blame the havest year more than the producer. Nose very profound and complex.
