Saturday, January 2, 2021 - What a nose. Cherries, red currants, then sage, balsamic, leather. Primary and tertiary intersecting beautifully at this stage. Tannins very soft, acids Med + and alcohol in check for a warm year. You can tell they picked early. Length is incredibly long. Benchmark brunello. Can’t stop smiling with this in hand.

We stopped at the property w/o a res and no one around. Lovely grounds. I had been desperately looking for a pit stop so used one the lane trees on our way out :) Stately place. Wish it had been open.

    Cheers & Happy 2021!

    Cheers
