More or less everything you want aged brunello to be. Lovely balance of mature fruit, vibrant acidity and gentle bitter cherry stone fruit. A slight stewed note but given the hot vintage this shows what a great producer of classic, long lived and delicate Sangiovese Bruneli is. 92

Mature appearance with a medium garnet core and a medium/wide mahogany rim. Nose shows red cherry, slightly pruney, fig and tea leaf. Full bodied, with red cherry, fig, notes of prune, but good acidity and well integrated, soft tannins on a good length finish. Pretty good but a touch overripe and lacking a bit of focus. Drinking now and maybe for another 3-4 years, but I don't see any point in waiting.

I really hoped it will be better, it is a bit stiff, not like the delicious Brunello I know...
