July 10, 2023 - I was going to give this an even lower score but came back to the bottle two days after opening and saw a tangible evolution, with some of the classic Brunello sweet cherry flavors emerging to add complexity to what had otherwise been a fairly dull black fruit profile. Still too much acidity for my taste and a rather “medium everything” wine that I won’t buy more of.

January 3, 2021 - Decent but not great brunello, should definitely be drunk with food that can balance the high acid and savoury flavours.
Medium depth, surprising garnet color that makes it look much older than it is
Modest, savoury nose that doesn’t scream Brunello. Some unripe dark cherries, mint, asparagus and a little oak
High acid and medium plus tannins, mainly on the tongue. Medium plus body and length, but not a ton of flavour - seems more like a chianti than a brunello to me with the sharper cherry flavours. Definitely a bit more soft oak to taste which does a good job of balancing the asparagus and herbs.
