Muted nose with leather and pencil shavings more evident over some fruit notes. Green strawberry and a bunch of acid on the palate. Let it breathe a bit before drinking. On the lighter side for Brunello but enjoyable for sure

Brookie and I drank this bottle undecanted at Florio's. Classic notes of licorice, leather, tobacco, cherries. Translucent, orange at the rim, obviously past it's prime. The cork was fine, no off odors, a little too much acidity. The wine, while pleasant enough to drink, really wasn't as harmonious and enjoyable as I would have expected from this price point.

Pretty, easy drinking, amazing balance. Beautiful pomegranate and sweet raspberry. Some nice spice. Lovely mouthfeel. Still very young and vibrant. Toasted marshmallow and wet rock.

P/P on day one and somewhat closed. Better on day two with good red fruit and balance. Moderate structure seemed more like a high end chianti riserva, but this was very good.

Currant and hints of tree bark and pine on the nose. Well balanced but Med to light spicy finish.
