Friday, June 4, 2021 - Completing the evening with a truly great Brunello.
An hour decant isn’t enough to show this wine’s full potential. 3 hours did it for me - with regular sampling ever 15 min of course.
Smooth leather, cherry, tobacco, oak and blackberry on the nose, followed with chocolate, balsamic, dried violet and pepper on the palate, for a long finish down the hatch.
The longer it breathed, the more earthy and ageing notes were noticeable.
Smooth, yet bold, grippy tannins, well balanced. Excellent.
