Beautiful Brunello that is just beginning to flower. Decanted for a few hours, but still very tight. Wonderful bright cherry fruit on top of a tannic and earthy backbone. Finish medium in length with a hint of dustiness. This wine should be fantastic in another 3-5 years. Enjoy!!!

Still a bit young. Has some nice red berry fruit and a hint of earthiness. I think this will be a winner in 2 or 3 years. I like the continued restraint seen in the last few vintages. Not as big of a Pinot bomb as earlier vintages.
