Probably at the end of its drinking window - refined, subtle and delicate, but still very much alive. Really quite fine and enjoyable, tho' I wouldn't leave this much longer.

Medium/deep garnet core, pale garnet rim. Intense sour red cherry nose, some earth and liquorice and a touch of spice. Medium/full bodied on the palate, rich and relatively generous, red fruited with earth and leather, vibrant contrasting acidity, firm but well mannered, fine tannins and a very good length attractively fresh finish. This is excellent, classic Brunello, starting to drinking well but should be fine beyond 2020.

Medium ruby garnet core, pale garnet rim. Sour red cherry nose, hint of vanilla, mineral and slightly earthy edge. Medium + bodied, fresh and a little firm, but with attractive pure red cherry fruit on the mid-palate with some mineral notes, a little short on the slightly dry, firm finish. May just need time to open out - worth leaving my last bottle 3-5 years to find out. 86 for now. (14% ABV)

Excellent. Superbes franges couleur tuile, arômes de pruneaux cuits, un très très bon vin. Prêt maintenant!

Superbe, l’autre peut encore attendre quelques années (2-3). Pris avec un boeuf (croc-pot).
