The opposite of the other 2 wines we had yesterday, I struggled with this one, particularly since it was more expensive than the other two wines we had combined and less enjoyable! This was all sour cherries up front, with some vegetal elements as the backbone. This started to resolve after a couple hours, with some mineral elements showing their face, but was still not up my alley. Disappointing coming from a great vintage.

Terrific Brunello that is aging beautifully. Holding onto its fruit and tannins well. I paid $32 many years ago which makes this a great value. Easily drinking like a 50-60 dollar wine.

Knockout nose loaded with ripe red fruits, fresh flowers, grilled herb switches and sous bois. Full bodied and quick tannic at this juncture. The tannin really closes down the finish, but they are of superb quality and simply need a few more years to soften. This shows outstanding intensity and is a real beauty in the making. I’d give it another year or two then drink until age 20. Drink 2022-2030. 93+
