This is solid, full bodied and hardly accessible now. Firm tannins and it showed really aggressive to me, too bold to my liking, really needs 7-8y in a bottle.

Light ruby. Cherry, leather and spices. Very classic! Medium-full bodied with fresh acidity and bold but silky tannins. The finish keeps lingering for minutes! Very elegant. Needs quite some time to settle and integrate. Considering the classic Brunello profile and the structured body this could be one of those 25year+ kind of Brunelli.

Much younger than I expected. High acidity. Nice aging potential.
Good quality/price ratio.

The wine has developed nicely since my last try, some of the sharp edges are rounded, showing as good entry level for Brunello.
