Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 23, 2019 - Dark ruby color with some hints of amber at the rim, somewhat unexpected considering the age.
Ripe dark fruit with some fresh berries, red licorice, toast and hints of violet. Very dense on the palate with chewy smooth mouth coating tannins some medium acidity and ripe fruit. The finish is long and a bit drying.
This is a big and bold wine right now and I don’t think it has the structure to develop a lot over time. Drink now - 2022.
With its high extraction/substantial oak balance it is not my favourite Brunello style (note my, many, other notes on Brunello). Nevertheless I much enjoyed this wine as such because it is not ‘over-oaked’ to my palate.
