  Brownish red (brick) in color with orange tinge on the rim. Medium bodied. Nose of dusty dark cherry and strawberry, tar and balsamic vinegar. Restrained dark red fruit on the palate along with gripping but not overpowering acidity. Tasty cherry balsamic aftertaste finishing dry, with medium tannins. Nice to sip by itself, but better with food. Needs 20-30 minutes to open and soften. Drinking nicely now, but clearly has plenty of life left.

  See previous notes. Pronounced intensity on the nose. Quite perfumed. Violets, cherries, pastille, balsam and forest floor. Great balance. Good acidity and the resolved tannins lends itself to pairing with food or having it on its own. Drink or hold. Was great right out of the gate. Lovely stuff.

  Lovely. Dark purple hue, very fruity nose. First Brunello burst is big, fruity, still just ripe but flavourful red fruits - cherries, currants, hint of mint with a medium quick finish. Earthy and dry - ash, bit of licorice and long linger and that dry cheek pucker I enjoy. Drinking well now! Go for it

  Opened at home and let stand in the bottle in my wine cabinet for 4+ hours. Re-corked and brought to the restaurant. Earthiness and dark chocolate on the nose, really nice. Nice ruby red color in the glass. On the palate, earth first followed by red cherry. Great acidity, tannin was pretty muted. Was fantastic with my pork Ragu paparadelle. Thumbs up around the table. I have a few more bottles that I’ll space out to see what happens going forward. Really enjoyable now.
