Nice clear ruby, but with slight brownish tint. Very little bricking. Nice modern nose a la Caparzo, Fanti. Hard to describe, but forest floor and cherry? Nice spicy mid-palate of same. Medium acidity. Medium finish.

1 hr decant. A pleasant, lighter style Brunello with not much else happening. Smooth tannins in the background. I do not think this is one to age long-term so I would drink over the next 5 years. I've had better for the price.
88 points; purchased from winebid on 1/15/2012 for $34.50

Nice wine, mostly consumed with a meal of pasta and red meat sauce. Paled in comparison to some heartier California wines over the course of the evening. It was a largely unfair comparison.

Aerated then let it decant in the glass for 15 minutes. Very nice.

Nice and well aged, but not especially noteworthy.
