December 14, 2020 - Nice nose of licorice and red fruit. Flavors of black raspberry, leather and tar. Medium grip on the finish.
Night two notes: This has developed very nicely with vivid flavors of cherries and chocolate with a leather finish. Really nice! This was really my first experience with a well aged Brunello. Awesome! -

March 4, 2016 - Delicious Brunello Riserva. Strawberries, menthol, violets, and cut vine. Notes of diazinon for you gardeners. This really needed to open up so give it some time if you are able. Polished tannins of very good length. Typical tar and licorice for a Sangiovese/ Brunello. I really enjoyed this and for the price it is excellent and complex. Leather and buttery notes on the finish. Grazia to my wife for discovering it. Molto bene!
