Fantastic Brunello!! Dark berries and autumn leaves on the nose and a lot of cherry in the mouth, very very long aftertaste. A perfect example of a Brunello.

Purple colour, inviting scent of forest/underbrush, still a bit ‘chewy’ after 8 years but in a positive way. Tannins mostly faded away, pleasant level of acidity left, which makes me confident this has 2-3 more years to go. Well rounded/balanced fruit - probably one of the best 2009; very nice, indeed. So pleased I have a few more because this is essentially BDM as you expect it to be after a few years in the bottle!

The nose was beautiful, as it opened up in the glass to reveal tart red berry, dry autumnal spice and hints of animal musk. On the palate, bitter cherry with cinnamon and cedar saturated the senses yet remained juicy and fresh. The finish was staying with young red fruits that made the mouth water, followed by hints of cheek-puckering tannin.
