  Subsequent notes on this wine from about 4 years ago. Dark reddish ruby in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes of roses, minerals, dried herbs, loam, sandalwood, tea, anise, spices, mint, minerals & hints of cedar in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, rich, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plumes with spices, dried herbs, mushrooms, minerals & oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing (90 min.+) & even at 9 years of age, it should continue to develop further with additional aging. A wonderful Brunello that is just getting better with time.

  Medium/light in color and body. Cherry fruit, balsamic and iron on the palate. A bit on the taut side with medium+ acidity but also elegant (iron fist in a velvet glove). Fined grained tannins on a medium finish. Good food wine. Very good.

  Solid wine ready for drinking now. 30 min decant it improves to expose the essence of this estate! Nice color, starting the bricking phase, a tad dry but good red fruits here with some earthy accents and wood. Nice perfume on the nose, legs in the glass, a bit lighter than the Riserva of the same vintage, which also has more depth. Drink or hold.
