  • Beautiful red brick colour. Leather and dried fig; great acid, tannins have softened but still pack enough of a punch. Delightfully long finish and very food-friendly

  • Med (+) ruby / garnet. Clean. developed, with aromas of macerated red cherry, dried black plum, dried herbs, leather, tobacco and baking spice note from 28 mos. of aging, part in large French oak barriques and part in very large casks. The palate is dry, with generous ripe fruit, medium acidity, medium tannins and high alcohol (14.5%). This is a very well-balanced and smooth wine, with medium flavor intensity and a medium (+) long finish. It is probably at its peak now or maybe slightly past. Nevertheless, it is really nice, rounded, with generous fruit. WS 90

  • *Note: have a cold, so tasting may be compromised*
    Can't get anything from the nose, but palate experience is very smooth with red fruit, kiwi, leather, and some citrus hints on the forefront. Ending with sneakers, menthol and rhubarb pie. Surprisingly tannic still after 2 hours of air, this should coast along for at least another decade. Quite nice.

  • A very nice, easy drinking, low effort Brunello. After a 2 hour decant, smooth with typical Brunello notes and not tannic.

  • Decanted for an hour. Medium (+) ruby / garnet. The nose is clean and developing, with aromas of ripe red cherry, dried black plum, dried herbs, and a nice baking spice note from 24 month of aging part in French oak barriques and part in medium capacity casks. The palate is dry, with generous ripe fruit, medium acidity, medium tannins and high alcohol (14.5%). This is a very well-balanced and smooth wine, with medium flavor intensity and a medium (+) long finish. It is probably at its peak now or maybe slightly past, since it seems a little soft. Nevertheless, it is really nice, rounded, with generous fruit. WS 90
