Pure, bright, classic brunello on the nose. Red cherry, dried herbs, rose petal, leather and tobacco. Lovely depth on the palate, an initially sweet attack of strawberry, black cherry and plum gives way to that classic Sangiovese tar. Tannins are subtle and fine and the acid lends this a wonderful backbone. Glimmering finish of spice, white pepper and greenish oak. Complex, civilised and delicious.

Tasted blind. Dark ruby. Nose of Maggy beef stock, some sou cherry with earth, lacking a bit fruit and aroma. Very dense on the palate, structured, concentrated. Impressive structure but feels a bit overdone, missing some elegance.

Brunello 2006 Horisontal Tasting: Expressive nose with coffee, dark cherries and oak. Intense and very nice.. Very powerful acidity on the palate and just beautifully put together. Young and pure-flavored cherries with a long impressive aftertaste.

No formal note but was very good. Powerful but well balanced with vibrant acidity and gritty tannin. Drank with Steve during F1 weekend.
