March 8, 2024 - bottle drunk over a few days. nice and complex nose. palate shows integrated tanins, good balance. approachable now. over the time, the tanins appeared to be more and more integrated; on the third day, they seemed seamless.

March 25, 2023 - Blind tasting
Medium ruby. Filtered with rim clearing
Aromatics medium. Red cherry, plum followed by rock, leather and earth. No new oak
Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on the teeth and gums. Alcohol medium. Tart red cherry and chalk. Followed by some herbs. Fruit seems quite fresh.
Finish has a medium length. Balanced versus towards the acid.
Dry glass notes of barnyard
I guessed a 2019 Chianti classico
Overall really nice. Seems younger and fresher than a 9 year old Brunello
Drink now or can hold as structure and fruit are good.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 23, 2023 - Light ruby color
Medium plus aromas of red fruit with leather/ tobacco and touch of incense with turned earth - very savory
Medium bodied with palate of ripe and tart red cherry with herbs and chalk
Medium plus acidity and medium plus fairly coarse tannins with medium alcohol
Long on the finish led by fruit and tannin
This is not a powerful Brunello by any means but so well balanced and delicious - shows that quality winemakers/growers make it work despite the vintage
Drinking well now but could hold 5-7 yrs1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 16, 2023 - Despite of tough vintage . Elegant , well balanced wine. Few more years to keep it aging .
