  This is an amazing bdm. A big wine with some delicate characteristics. Massively tannic. A bit funky upon opening. Steve blind guessed it as a bordeaux. Need to grab some more for the cellar.

  Bright ruby/red color. Fresh aromas of strawberry, cherry, sottobosco and a hint of flintstone and a floral note. Similar to other ‘17 I’ve had and a bit a-typical for Brunello.
  Full bodied with grippy, but still smooth, tannins and balanced acidity. A long and fresh finish.

  Spicy nose on intense black fruit.
  
  Mouth corseted with a solar juice that remains delicate and feminine. The wine appears on restraint with a very fine and integrated cedar, leather a nice balance with acidulous and solar structure. Spicy finish, the tannins still need to blend, beautiful vibrant length.
  
  Very good Brunello, which still requires a little time to fully indulge.

  Light barnyard smell, tannic, slight herbal taste, tart finish. Needs further aging at time of review.

  Maybe parsimonious with the scoring but this didn't blow me away. Confirms that the traditional producers at altitude did best in this vintage: retains some elegance and brightness, but a bit flat and characterless: the clarity and layers you'd expect from this producer aren't apparent but they may emerge with age
