Community Tasting Note

S.Wayne Likes this wine: 90 points
November 13, 2019 - Single blind tasting.
Dark garnet color.
Medium aromatics. No oak. Earth, tobacco, leather, dark plum and cherry.
Medium palate with medium + acidity, medium + tannin and medium + alcohol. Cherry is main feature with no secondary notes.
Finish is medium with a balanced, well integrated tannin to acidity. A little lacking in the palate regarding fruit and secondary characteristics. Still a nice but not exceptional example of Brunello.1 person found this helpful 1,631 views
