October 7, 2023 - Entering into its drinking window now. Really enjoyable at this point but still has time to evolve.
(4/21/2021) Of medium color and intensity for a Brunello. Definitely of the new (rather than traditional) style, emphasizing the use of smaller, newer barrels rather than larger, older casks. Splintery oak is apparent, along with the classic cherry fruit associated with sangiovese. Because of its higher acidity than many Brunellos, it's somewhat more like a riserva Chianti (albeit an excellent one) than a traditional Brunello. Needs time to fully integrate.3 people found this helpful Comment -

Dense dark fruity aroma, cask sweetness behind
Smooth palate, m+T, mA, h-B, dry, again dense dark fruits with a sweet touch
Drink now - 2028
Too international style for my taste although a good wine in the making
