April 25, 2024 - Nose more shy than palate, but first earthy and later black cherries. Wonderful tasty medium to full bodied palate with bitter cherries. Really some punch ending in a long finish, with great sweet fruit. Theres structure but not a lot of tannins.
10/12 of a case, exiting at release, not the same level last year, and exiting today, but seems to have gained some power. -

April 1, 2024 - Not the best Brunello, not only with a very transparent color, but also with a quite stiff and not evolving nose. On the palate it has a grip but in a lighter version, and a quite high acidity. Definitely not gonna buy again
