Just something about aged Brunello. Although not the best vintage, at 20-years of age, this is good right now. Red fruit of cherry, strawberry, and plums...but mostly secondary notes now of leather, sweet herbs, chocolate, and tobacco. Good acidity, soft tannins, and long finish. Still holding on...

Tasted more over the hill than it looked. Nice crimson, virtually no tanning. Very thin upon opening, better after an hour gaining some weight. Light red cherry with a hint of mineral water.

A four squared brunello that lacked character. It was also very oaky.

IMO it lacks varietal typicity. Doesn’t taste like Sangiovese. Decent wine, but could be mistaken for any number of cheaper wines.

Loads of life left here still. Perhaps lacking a touch of refinement but this had a very joyful personality. Drink now - 2021
