Beautiful Brunello with dark cherries and a little leather on the nose. On the palate it’s intense with very dark fruit, terrific acidity and great length. The tannins still have some way to go.

Drinking wine can sometimes be confusing. This outstanding and expensive Brunello started out a little on the disappointing side. I should have decanted it but it takes me two nights to drink a bottle so I had to leave it in the bottle. The second night it was fabulous, full body with a ton of flavors.

Since my previous note (5/21) the oak has faded significantly, letting the cherry and rose petal characteristics flourish. Tannins and acidity overall have further softened and the palate adds a hint of savory spice and white flowers. Nice but hoped for more.

i was a bit surprised by this wine. Was anticipating a great Brunello but found it to have a bitter taste and only an average impact.
