Agree with the most recent notes. This wine is in such a great place. Tannins have melted away, while nice fruit remains. Buffered by notes of black tea and a very, very slight hint of NSG earthiness. Lovely.

I haven't had a Brunello in years, but this has me questioning why that is. What a fun and delicious wine.
Plums, chocolate, coffee, tobacco. Grapes!
Clearly very substantial, but not heavy. This seems to me to be very much in balance and tasty to boot. The wine is itching for a huge slab of red meat.
Need to expand my wine horizons and go this direction a little more often.

A little too much oak for me. Nice exotic fruit beneath, but needs a lot of time.
