Surprisingly bright and floral on nose and palate with sweeter cherry and strawberry notes. Light to medium body, well balanced. Very enjoyable with a nice truffle brie- made for a perfect dessert course!

Pnp at a restaurant. I was a little worried about how this one would be given some recent comments on CT. CdN is one of my favorite brunello producers, so I wanted it to be good. I have enjoyed a few other bottles of this vintage, but hadn't had one in a while, and this was my last one. Had a backup 2010 Lisini in case.
Some bricking around the edges and a nice cherry aroma in my glass, so far, so good. Nice cherry notes up front with some dried cranberry. Cherry and leather on the finish which was mid weight. Success, I was very happy, it went really nicely with my pork ragu. Everyone was in agreement, it was very good. Unfortunately, only had the 1 glass.
I think this one has maybe another year at the most.

PNP. Classic Brunello notes, albeit ramped up a notch. Tannins slightly unresolved. Having said that, a beautiful example of a modern style BdM. Plenty of time left on this beauty, but good to go now. Perhaps the Casanova style shows better in an off vintage.
