Drinking beautifully now, with a big, powerful but classic nose of earth, cherries, sun-baked herbs, a very serious and savory wine that will hold for years. Traditional style while still being deep and burly, I don't think anyone could call this "thin."

Delicious and already drinking well. There's a lot going on here - one of those wines that takes a while to actually taste it because you linger a while with your nose in the glass. Some floral notes (lavender?) and vibrant fruit. Rich mouthfeel. A winner.

This Brunello was fantastic. Dark, ruby color. Lovely nose with fresh earth, leather and faintly of ripe red fruit. Tart cherry and plum on the palette, well balanced, medium body. Light tannins on a long finish. Went very well with homemade, hand rolled pinci pasta al carne in Montulcino, Italy. molto buono!

Fresh blackcurrant, cherry and some chocolate and hints of leather. Full bodied with balanced acidity and smooth, mouth coating tannins. The finish is long and fresh. This wine has a bright future ahead and will probably improve for the next 5-8 years. Drink now - 2022. Another great '06 Brunello. My first BdM from this vineyard, certainly worth following.

Beautiful Brunello. Certainly at it's peak. Clear garnet with orange rims, very perfumed nose, soft tannins, round on the palate, medium/long finish.
