This wine has varietal characteristics, but it's rough, bitter, and tannic. I don't think it will be drinkable for at least another 25 years. There's no excuse for making a wine this mean.
Classy brunello. Fresh floral notes with medium ripe sour cherries. Balanced acidity, not punchy and has fine tannins. Great long smooth finish of over a minute. Enjoyable wine, maybe not as rich as the 15 or 16 brunellos. Room to improve with time, decant for a few hours in the meantime.
