This is a true experience of classic Brunello at its best! full of structure, balance of fruit and tannins, and alcohol. Nice fruit character, but not too much. I opened this bottle 4 hours before tasting, and at tasting experienced lots of dried cherry, plum, slight cedar, and many other things going on. It is a very big wine and will get better for at least 15 more years based on the tannins and well structured fruit.

Had higher expectations. Don't fall for hype form winery or distributors.

- It's balanced with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish.
