6/8/2010 - mikko81 wrote: 92 pointsDeep garnet. Dark berries, cherries, cocoa, vanilla and a hint of minerality. On the second day the nose has muted significantly. The palate is very round with lip-sticking soft tannins. Dark berries, sweet black cherries, dark chocolate with cinnamon and vanilla. Some oak is still detectable on the palate. Seems like a nice winter/fireplace wine. Drinking well but may still sligthly improve over the next few years allowing the oak/tannins to integrate and soften. Glad to have a few more bottles. |

On the palate it is very clean with mellowed tannins, but still strong enough to say this wine has many years ahead of it. Sourcherries, some red fruit and mint/menthol with a rosepetal like mouthfeel. If I had to describe the wine in one word I would say, "elegant". Drinking perfectly now. I'm glad to be able to follow its evolution with other bottles still in the cellar. |

Mouthfeel is very silky with resolved sweet tannins. I would say this brunello is at its peak where it will remain for the next couple of years. The palate is still fruity with cherry and blackcurrant, very clean. A beautiful wine that shined on the second day by becoming more elegant. Luckily I have 2 more. |
