February 15, 2024 - Audozed 2 hours, served non-blind and enjoyed over two days: both showed well if slightly differently. This needed some time to get moving but once it did, it was a lovely showing. Red with some dark red-fruited character. Leather, a suggestion of savory, soil, etc. Med+ body with ample structure to see this into the next decade. Very good partner to the various grilled meats and roast veggies. 14,5% abv. highly recommended

January 1, 2024 - Very nice with lamb chops; red fruit, mint, anise, some orange peel and forest floor; ripe and borderline big, but not heavy or alcoholic in any way; good balance; still with plenty of structure. Good

January 27, 2023 - hint of cedar, dark berries. taste: cherries, and dark fruit. tannins still present, and gives a nice finish. Balance between fruit and tannins.

April 2, 2021 - Good Friday night wine swap with the gang. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark licorice, sweet incense oak spice, thyme, dark red cherries, Tuscan sentimentalities. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), grippy high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of black cherries, dark red cherries, dark plums, licorice, thyme, sweet oak spice with more air. Medium+ finish.
Very good quality. Well-made Brunello in an unremarkable vintage. Fair amount of oak make-up. Another 2-3 years to integrate a bit more and then this should be just nice to drink up and enjoy. Not really for long-term for this vintage.
