88 Points

Saturday, March 15, 2008 - This wine is solid and very characteristic of Brunello, with tart cherries, earth notes, smoke, and mature fruit. It is drinking very well now and it is a generous wine in all aspects (nose, palate, and finish). Yet, it has a structural problem: the oak and the fruit did not become well integrated, and so it feels disjointed, with the oak overpowering the fruit. Had it been smoother and better integrated it would have merited a score in the mid-nineties. As it is, it is in the high-eighties. Drink by 2010.
