Deep red. Crunchy fruit on nose . Very seductive. Intense palate fruit and structure balanced but very young. Definitely drinkable but a lot more to come.

Thought I’d try this having read previous tasting notes. It’s fabulous and much more “open for business” than I was anticipating. I have been drinking lots of Barolo recently so it may be that my tannin tolerance is high but I found this an absolute pleasure to drink. Yes it’s a BIG wine and is dense and brooding but I found the tannin acceptable and particularly with food (Gorgonzola and sourdough toast was all I could muster!) it was really lovely. Nose is typically Tuscan but really deep dark red fruits and I think a slight touch of lavender (or am I mad!?!). Mouth feel is luxurious with deep dark but well integrated fruits. Tannin is there but I felt it was quite mellow - only criticism is that it lacks a bit of acidic freshness. Finish is long and satisfying. Agree this will probably need a tad more time to hit its true heights but it’s the best Brunello I’ve had since….well probably ever!!!!

Took a while to open up. Not our favorite Brunello but ok with pizza.
