Aerated in decanter one hour. Med brick red, clear with no sign of age. Aromas of darker red fruits, some brown spice, etc. A good sense of place, but the med+ body lacks the tension I was hoping for; perhaps a shortcoming of the vintage. This may continue to develop positively; I'd consume in the coming 5-6 years to take advantage of the freshness. recommended
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Drack till älgfile m rödvinssås och smörfrästa rotfrukter. Helt perfekt kombo. Mörk frukt, choklad, lakrits. Klarar säkert ett tag till i källaren, men helt klart drickfärdigt efter en timma på karaff.

Jeg elsker Brunello. Og dette er en lige ud af landevejen god kommune brunello. Luftet i 3 timer inden servering. Lidt diskret næse, men med en god rundgang i glasset kommer der masser af dejlig brunelloduft. Søde mørkerød kirsebær, lidt brombær, en god del sød lakrids, vanille og en lille kant af viol, orangeskal og til sidst stødt sort peber. Lækkert, men desværre også med den første lille bitte snert af eddike! I munden er vinen lidt skarp med en god del syre, men fortsat frugtig og velbalanceret med en sødlig lakridssmag. Tanninerne er til stede, men ikke dominerende. Drikkemoden nu og de næste 2-4 år.

Sixth vineyard visited on my Montalcino trip - Val di Suga. Medium intense nose, soft medium inky color. Huge Brunello burst, almost overpowering - oranges, hint of lemons but sweet. Soft smooth finish with a lingering oaky taste. Unique among the 2011s with a big Brunello burst.

The nose was ripe and intense with a mix of red fruits offset by hints of dried spice. On the palate, I found soft textures along with juicy acidity with a drink-me-now persona, as fresh cherry notes lingered into the medium-length finish.

Deep Bordeaux/purple.
Nose: Herbacious notes of oranges(?) and raspberries.
Taste:Fruity, medium bodied, tannic with a slight but very pleasant acidity. Medium length.
Nice.

Medium intense nose of cherry and spicy notes (juniper, herbs), almost pungent. Fairly full bodied, some acidity, but not overly interesting.

Vino Amato's Annual Italian Wine Fair 2017 (Amato's, Norton Street, Leichardt): savoury cherry, leather, slight herbal notes, touch of polished oak. Juicy, cherry leather plenty of tannic grip but balanced. Very good.

Not the most suttle Brunello. Powerful and medium length. Wait or drink after a long decant.

Benvenuto Brunello - Walk Around Tasting (Drake Hotel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Red cherry with some berry. Mostly lean, but hints of ripeness. Ok energy, moderate depth, this is another 2011 Brunello for medium-term enjoyment.
