Medium-deep, reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes of violets, minerals, spices, some tobacco notes, herbs, smoky & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of blueberries, cherries & pomegranate with herbs, spices, minerals & a hint of cedar. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but still has potential for further development with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (94+). More "Burgundian" than most Brunellos. An absolutely wonderful Brunello which needs time to develop fully!
