  This 11 year old Brunello is drinking very nicely now.
  
  Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with good complexity.
  
  Showing red fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.
  
  Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
  
  The 2012 was a great vintage, and it needs 3 hours to open up properly, so be patient. Showing a nice mouthfeel, light, yet powerful.
  
  Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

  14.5% alcohol by volume.

  Red cherry lips! Needs time to open then lots going on. Earthy smell typical good Brunello. I think this will get better over next 3-4 years so if I was you, wait a little then get it at its peak.

  Took a minute to open up. After 30 minute decant, nose of earth and forest floor, mixed with hints of red fruit. After two hours, more cherry. Sour cherry and red fruit flavors, medium tannins. Good wine.
