April 6, 2019 - Keller Hubacker vertical tasting 2006-2017 plus X (@Private location): Glass: Gabriel Gold
Decanted for some minutes. Never had a Brunello like this and I would never dare to open such a wine so young at its release. But it was really worth it!
Clear, pale cherry red color. More like a German Pinot than a Brunello. Wonderful fresh and young nose with lots of cherries, herbs, leather and hints of tobacco. Certainly not fully at its peak, but already intoxicating.
On the palate a wonderful high, ripe and perfectly integrated acidity. A dream of cherry, crystal clear, mixed with some herbs and leather. Wonderful texture, fine, medium (-) tannin. Very fresh. Drinks beautiful now, but I would say it gets even better in a decade. 94++2 people found this helpful 4,398 views
