  A very nice Brunello which is already drinking well and will continue to develop for another 10+ years. Made from a single vineyard, aged in oak for over two years. Medium garnet colour, tawny touch. Medium+ intensity aroma of dried cherries, toast, tobacco, plums, dried roses, leather, hint of old cupboard. Medium+ body, vibrant and still a bit tight texture with smoky and spiced red fruit flavours, high acidity, medium+ tannins, long finish.

  At initial opening, still quite tight, earth and forest floor nose. 2 hours later, ripe plums, pipe tobacco and vanilla. Very pleasant with an Angus Striploin.

  Tasty young Brunello. A bit angular and stern, but the fruit is concentrated and expressive and it's pretty drinkable behind the structure.

  A: Pale garnet (verging on medium which indicates Sangiovese rather than Nebbiolo)
  N: Violet, rose,, red sour cherry, red currant, raspberry, cinnamon , dried herbs, leather and some VA, mushroom .Oak characteristics are subtle.
  P: Dry, medium (+) acidity , medium alcohol, medium (+) chalky tannin, medium (+) body, intensity and long finish
  C: love the balance of acid and tannin. good intensity and better finish. The complexity spans clusters in primary, secondary and tertiary aromatic categories. This is an outstanding wine and for $60 not bad at all.
  
  Guess & Mistakes:
  I thought old world, cool climate, Nebbiolo. I didn't get the mushroom element until after I called the grape. Also the acid and tannin should be so marked that you fear for your amalgam fillings. This was not the case here.
