Not sure if this needs more time or is just an average vintage but it’s been breathing for over an hour and misses on balance and structure. Has the characteristics of a BDM but fails to put them all together. Will keep last two bottles for 2-3 more years to see if this develops but not sure if it ever comes together like you’d expect from this label.

Wine was very structured with nice acidity. Had with a 16 but found the 16 more preferable. Wine had a brownish tinge. Tannins seem to be subsided and fruit seems to be light. Feel this wine is drinking well now

Medium garnet in color. Aromas of tomato leaves, oregano, cherries, and balsamic waft from the glass. Palate is filled with bright, slightly underripe red fruit, mocha, and hazelnut. Lively acidity. Medium tannins.

Not the best vintage, but it’s drinking well now, and it is a good example of a well-made Brunello. Drink now to 2024.
