  Light red rim showing moderate at most extraction, moderate depth of color. On the nose loads of chestnut, dried cherry fruit, and dried herbs. On the palate very high acidity, a firm and tight midpalate that transitions into a pretty firm and grippy tannic finish, mdoerate alcohol. Good balance, adequate length and complexity, not a ton of intensity. Good finesse, a fine, but very firm texture, good expression of place. This struck me as a very traditional style of Brunello that is very firm in structure. Has the depth of fruit to go a few more years, but I think the firmness will long outlast the fruit. Good example of this style... better with food.

  Dark red color with slightly off-red coloring at the rim. Lots of dried cherry scents on the nose. Smooth mouthfeel with good upfront acidity that cuts nicely through a thick marinara sauce on chicken parmigiana. Tannins seem to be well integrated at this point and the finish is quite long. Very nice.
