This needs at least 30 minutes in the glass or decanter to open up. Similar to my last tasting note on 10/23. Young, but approachable. Picking up a savory note on the finish. A good value Brunello.

Light red color with a slight amount of sediment. On nose, sweet/sour cherry with tomato paste and tobacco. On palate, full body, medium tannins, high acidity and long finish. Flavor relatively consistent with palate although fruit slightly oxidized. Fruit is more oxidized than I would have expected at 9 years. 92+/-
Not a re-buy.

Agree with other comments about this being a lighter style Brunello. Gave it an hour decant. Paired nicely with Salmon.

A pleasant but lighter style Brunello. With some air, it is a good time to drink it.
