  bottle drunk over a few days. nice and complex nose. palate shows integrated tanins, good balance. approachable now. over the time, the tanins appeared to be more and more integrated; on the third day, they seemed seamless.

  Blind tasting
  Medium ruby. Filtered with rim clearing
  Aromatics medium. Red cherry, plum followed by rock, leather and earth. No new oak
  Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on the teeth and gums. Alcohol medium. Tart red cherry and chalk. Followed by some herbs. Fruit seems quite fresh.
  Finish has a medium length. Balanced versus towards the acid.
  Dry glass notes of barnyard
  I guessed a 2019 Chianti classico
  Overall really nice. Seems younger and fresher than a 9 year old Brunello
  Drink now or can hold as structure and fruit are good.

  Light ruby color
  Medium plus aromas of red fruit with leather/ tobacco and touch of incense with turned earth - very savory
  Medium bodied with palate of ripe and tart red cherry with herbs and chalk
  Medium plus acidity and medium plus fairly coarse tannins with medium alcohol
  Long on the finish led by fruit and tannin
  This is not a powerful Brunello by any means but so well balanced and delicious - shows that quality winemakers/growers make it work despite the vintage
  Drinking well now but could hold 5-7 yrs

  Despite of tough vintage . Elegant , well balanced wine. Few more years to keep it aging .

  Drinking great now with a 2 hour decant. Bottle was drained too quickly! Nice acidity, mature fruits and earth.
