Medium minus garnet color, with prominent tears.
M+ intensity, clean aromatics

Dry, M+ body, H alcohol (feels 14.5% - actually 15.5%!), M+ acid, H tannins
Pronounced flavor intensity

Long, evolving finish.

Final Conclusion [I forgot to lateral Brunello/Nebbiolo]
2007 Barolo Riserva

Actual: Brunello di Montalcino

The more prominent oak and the heavier, fleshier frame could have taken me to Brunello instead of Barolo. I should at least have considered it.
