RUSSK Daria's party, Brook's wine. One of the best Brunello's I have had to date. Deeply aromatic especially while drinking. Barnyard, leather and mature Sangio notes. Almost too aromatic (didn't think I would ever say that).Reminds me slightly of the nose of Castello Tavoleze 2001. Had to drink slowly. Med to full bodied, nice round tannins. Very juicy and satisfying. Would buy, depending upon the price.

Nose: Well-done venison or other gamy meat, slightly green, with spicy green pepper and spice cabinet.
Palate: A bit hot, and surprisingly light for a Brunello. Chewy tannins and a bit of bay leaf on the background. Really not much more to say about the palate, honestly. A bit of a disappointment.
Finish: The tastes from the palate leave the stage gracefully, with soft cherry and herbs fading nicely.
This is a good wine, but I would expect much more out of a Brunello, to be honest. I don't know if it's in a dumb phase, but right now I really could find many other wines at a much better price point that I enjoy more. 88.

Lovely, medium-bodied sangiovese. Rich fruit with a touch of dirt. Very smooth.
