  Fabulous brunello. Dark fruits, deep, structured and complex. At 20 aging well and no rush. This is top tier brunello for a normale. One of my favorite producers, and a very consistent one.

  Not sure what I expected, seem to be hit or miss with Italian wines, but this is a beauty. Drinking really well, beautiful lush fruit, complex, smooth, long finish....quite pleased. As was the missus.

  PnP: Ruby with light to brick rim; nice notes of cedar, dry leaves; tart cherry, medium bodied, smooth with a dusty drying finish; still very enjoyable at 20 years; excellent with lasagna

  High-shoulder with perfect cork. Dark plum color turning orange at the rim. Expansive on the nose with classic Brunello aromas of cherry, cedar, spice, and flowers. Dark cherry and plum flavors with juicy acidity and dusty tannins, finishing on a long, tart, and mouth-watering herbal note. Needs a fair amount of air to fully open. High concentration from old vines, and a lots of new oak, reminiscent of a riserva. Good quality wine that pairs well with pasta with red meat sauce. Should have a long life remaining.
