  Very tight upon first opening, very expressive after about an hour, quite earthy

  Classic Brunello musty flavors of dirt and leaves overlayed with nice muted Plum flavors. Very drinkable now, might be better with a bit more age.

  2017 Brunellos and other Italian wines: dark garnet and with good body in the glass. the nose is generous with black cherries, whiffs of plums, spice and savoury herbs. its fullness in the mouth is leavened by a remarkable freshness that makes some bright cherry and raspberry notes shine thru. it's a bit austere in the middle as the tannins take hold, but comes alive again toward a finish that is very long and goes from spicy to herbal to fruity with a saline edge.
  
  drinkable now with good aeration, and likely to improve with a bit more age. wears its 14% AbV rather well.

  Rather reductive upon opening needing an hour of air to show well. Moderate density and dried black cherry notes. Hold the finish well, with repeating polished fruit notes. Could use a few years of aging but it’s nice now.
