Fairly deep color with brick rim. Aromatics are nice - cherry, leather, stones, old wood and dust. Medium plus body, hot! With lots of woodiness, and a beam of pure red cherry. And cordial cherry on the finish. Good, but rather one dimensional for a Brunello. Was wanting more complexity and less heat. Bonus points for the pure red cherry profile.

Color at the rim is a bit orange-ish. Nose of sarsaparilla, red fruits, red leather, and some floral notes. Palate layers plum, dates, paprika, and pepper atop soft, velvety tannins. Earthy start to the finish, followed by dry red fruits, cherry pit with a light butter note, and acidity on a medium plus length finish, adding a saline note at the end. This wine was surprised us... it was really singing tonight - wish we had more.

Compared to my previous note of a few years ago, I think this wine has evolved well. Enjoy!

Pretty average on P&P with lasagne. Improved a bit with time but nothing to get too excited about.
