Tasted after a 2-hour decant and rebottling, this was a delicious young Brunello that is just entering its drinking window. It showed flavors of strawberry, oak, leather, tobacco, and chocolate, with generous lingering tannins.
I think I opened the others too early. This has decades of life ahead.

Elegant, well-balanced, with good tannins. Fruit is on the red end of the spectrum, accompanied by leather. This was a good match for our venison marinara and pasta. Drink now-2026.

Drinking very well right now. Soft and fuzzy on the tongue, there’s a good mix of fruit and earth or savory notes. The 14 % ABV is well integrated. Moderate to moderate plus finish and complexity. Quite nice overall.

Rich, elegant and ready to drink with gobs of mocha from cask aging. Terrific stuff!
