Friday, March 19, 2021 - Great matured Brunello.
Primary: black fruits, violets, balsamic, secondary: sweet spices, tertiary: wet floor forest, meaty
I had a poor experience recently with a Cerretalto 2006 which feels really dense and warm, about new world style. This 1999 is the complete opposite style: really elegant, well balanced, complex.
This is at peak now. I am not sure it will improve much.
I would have expected a slightly fuller body and longer finish considering the price tag and reputation but overall this is really lovely and makes me feel better about this label (even if worried about style consistency across vintages).
