  Licorice and wood on the noise. Less wood on the palate but unmistakable licorice notes, as well as chocolate. This was a bit disjointed on PnP but started to come together after 60-90 minutes in the decanter. Overall this was very nice, although it wasn’t as complex or layered as some of the best Brunellos I’ve had. 93+

  Rich, sweet, fruity. Light tannins. Not as “serious” as I prefer — a chocolate covered cherry personality — but good concentration and obviously very good wine. This bottle had a touch of VA. Guessed brunello at Osteria Mozza.

  I don’t remember having a better Brunello since the one time, I had a Soldera. Reddish Brown. Mature nose, overripe, dark berries, freshly turned soil, wet brick. Fresh and lively. Acidic. Soft, sofisticated and super pleasant in the mouth. Soft tannins which sneaks around the gums. Everything in the right place.

  Good to drink this with the new owner of Cerbaiona. It was lush and rich with licorice, herbs, dark fruit, and gravel. It had wonderful layers and depth but also ethereal.
