Medium reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of floral notes of violets & earthy/dusty notes, herbs, spices, sandalwood, minerals, orange rind & a slight hint of cedar. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with spices, herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but it should develop further with additional aging. A wonderful Brunello which will only get better over time.

Tätare röd färg än genomsnittet för Brunello. Bra struktur med syra och tanniner som med lite tid i källaren kommer att integreras med aromerna av mörk frukt och körsbär. Det finns ngt lite unikt i denna som påminner om läder som gränsar till svag, svag stallighet (absolut inte brett dock). Mycket bra.

Good but not as juicy and approachable as the 2018. Cherry, leather, sandalwood, dried cranberries and some game. Needs longer to come around than we provided.

Benvenuto Brunello London (Lindley Hall, London): Some perfumed cherry depth, black tea, warming oak spice and eucalyptus. Depth to the cherry fruit, orange zest and a wave of fine tannins. Good bones but rather foursquare now.
