  Rødorange med mursteinskant. Mørk kjerne. Fiken, tørkede plommer, lakris, pipetobakk. I munnen er det tørkede kirsebær, plommer, svisker, pepper og kjøtt. Strukturert og frisk i munnen. Mye mindre alderspreg i munnen med ganske tydelige tanniner. 92-93

  Fabulous! Opened and let sit in the glass 30 min. Was perfect. Cherry, leather, herb aroma and a great cherry flavor. Nice, long finish.
  Won’t get better. Enjoy now. Agree with the other comment - this is why you have a cellar. 20+ year old Brunellos come to those who buy and lay down, and the are fabulous.

  Drinking really nicely now! As one reviewer noted “this is why I have a cellar.”
  And this is why Brunellos should be in everyone’s list and in everyone’s mind. The wonderful cherry aroma, soft integrated tannins. Easy to drink with a meal.

  Dark reddish garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe red fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, spices, mint, tobacco, leather, minerals, herbs a hint of cedar. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe red fruit flavors of cherries, cranberries & plums with spices, dried herbs, minerals & a hint of oak. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well with decanting & airing. At 24 years of age, it is approaching its peak of development although it should continue developing with additional aging.
