Wow! After a 90 minute decant this is an absolute knockout. Similar to my prior tasting notes. The fruit concentration in this wine is clearly Riserva and it has incredible structure on the backend. While this is still just an infant in its evolution, it is hard to resist now. I’m going to try to keep my hands off my remaining bottles for a few more years to watch it evolve.
Juicy and extremely food friendly brunello. Integration is just starting and should be at peak in about 5 years. Still a stellar example. Started of with juicy cherries and raspberries with roses and lavender. Evolved through a more gamey, earthy and even truffle/mushroom mix. Wow.

A bit of a young fruit bomb of a Brunello. Cinnamon, sweet vanilla, leather, and oak on the nose. The body is summer fruit punch at first, and then quickly morphs into a dark purple, robust licorice / leather mix. It’s a youthful, vibrant wine. Super food friendly. Doesn’t have the velvet nature of a Bordeaux.
