upon opening, earth, mineral, and moss. bright and lively on the entry with dark fruits and soft tannins. this took about and hour to really open up with the nose developing menthol, blackberry, licorice, along with earth and some floral notes. this is ready to drink now but can go a few more years. nothing spectacular about this wine but a solid drinker.

This Brunello taste a lot like one of it's contemporaries which is why I didn't purchash many of the 2005's. The muted effort has a pleasant nose of black rasberry preserves but runs thin on the palate without much to cheer about. Hollow unriped rasberries land on the back palate with very little hang time. There are no obvious flaws in this wine but it falls short of excellence in every category.
