dark ruby colour and medium-plus body. a bit of funk blows off to reveal a complex nose of ample cherry aromas laced with rose petals, drying kelp stems, mushroom and bits of tar. with good aeration the complexity translates to the palate with hints of a balsamic, umami vein lacing the dark cherry and plum juice. spice accents, acidic lift, chalky, cocoa-powder tannins and a very long finish round up the experience.
very promising now with a bit of Rioja-style complexity, a handful of years should make this Brunello an absolute treat. good upside potential here.

Medium ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of cherry, sage, tar, vanilla, and violet. Medium-plus body, with medium-plus tannins and high acidity. Lengthy finish. Meaty bouquet surprisingly similar to Northern Rhone Syrah. Rounded and plush.

Tasted at restaurant. Drinking very well right now despite youth. Lots of medium dark red fruit/cherry. Very enjoyable.
