Lovely Brunello. Had side-by-side with the Pertimali 2016 and was in a similar quality bracket. This one is slightly sweeter on the nose and palate. Ripe red cherry, raspberry. Pine. Vanilla. Mint. A bit reductive to start the night, but it opened up around 2 hours in.

Beautiful wine. Decanted 4 hours. Stunning. Even better on Day 2. Floral notes, stone, bright cherry, leather all work in harmony from start to finish. Phenomenal wine.

Popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Nose of sour cherry, cedar. Not overly aromatic but might need a bit more time to open up. Lots of sour cherry flavor on the palate, touch of florals and more cedar. High acidity. Medium+ tannins. Drank a little lighter than expected (not a bad thing) but think a bit more time sideways would benefit this wine or I would likely decant if drinking now.

Slightly ripe 14% abv. Nice drinker but not much elegance
