  Lovely cherry pie nose for days! Flavors of cherry and wet leather with perfectly balanced acidity to pair with food.

  Brunello Blind night at ES BK. Tasted blind over 3 hours.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of toasty wood, earth, red cherries, spices, sage and thyme. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red cherries, sour red cherries, earth, toasty spices. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Understated elegance, despite the sweetish red fruits getting dangerously close to being confected. Didn't really improve with air, so improvement with further ageing could be a question mark. Enjoyable drink now.
  Spends 38 months in large French oak barrels.
  Across the road from Caprili and Soldera in the unofficial subzone of Tavernelle.

  My first bottle in almost two years and this time, fully recalled the outstanding experience I had with my first bottle way back in 2013. Accessible upon opening, but got better and better over the course of four total hours. Bright red cherry, leather and forest floor notes on the nose. Close to full bodied (14.5% ABV) with bright red cherry notes upfront, mixing and deepening with some black cherry qualities, plum and nicely contrasting acidity. Finishes with integrated spices, mineral notes and just enough tannin to provide structure and length. The mid-body of this wine is silky and elegant with a good mix of fruit, balanced with acidity and structural qualities. Integration has improved markedly from my prior bottle. Unfortunate that I caught my second bottle in closed phase, but this one makes up for it. Based on where the fruit and structural notes are, I suspect it's within a year or so of peak but should be able to maintain this level for a way beyond that. I will certainly be looking for some more.
