Benvenuto Brunello 2017 (NYC): A step up from a ripe and structured '12 normale. This wine is aromatically seductive, showing the immediate appeal of the warm vintage. The musky taste combined with sweet dark cherry flavor recalls recent Altesino bottlings. Chewy, bold, interesting. Possibly a little short in the finish, but the aromatic complexity more than makes up for this.
