February 14, 2021 - Still very young, leather, graphite, chocolate, very up front but long finish. Needs time. From 375, pop and pour (a mistake)

July 3, 2020 - Ahh... a real Brunello, very fresh and one cannot believe it’s 12 years old. And it will sure last and develop for another decade. I have some bottles left and I’ll keep them for long....
Raspberry, lingonberry, some cinnamon, everything is there, as you can expect from such a producer. -
Swaggering Beaunie Likes this wine:
May 7, 2020 - Delicious Brunello at the red end of the spectrum, with flavors and aromas of red cherry, strawberry, and cranberry, to go with the solid acidity and leather notes. Still primary, it will be years before this yields tertiary characteristics.
