A little dry on the tongue to begin with, but with only a few minutes air opened up beautifully - a touch of oak, vanilla...more tobacco, cherry and leather and such a wondefully long finish!
Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the case! 😎

Nice nose with earth, herbs and cherries. Palate is really powerfull again with black cherries, at times with the most wonderful sweet fruit and a lot of structure, at other times the structure takes over. This has evolved quite a bit, since i had it more than a year ago and while theres more pleasure today it is still very young. Wish i could keep my hands of it for another couple of years. I have tasted a lot of 2016 brunellos and this one is different and more backward, but all the stuff is here for a stunning Brunello. The fruit is impressive. 93+

Big, ripe fruit on the nose with spice, leather, and smoke. Rich on the palate with plenty of body and dark cherry, fruitcake, and charred wood. Long finish. That lip-smacking Italian acidity.

Great. Good up front aroma and flavors, long lingering with low acid.
