Soave & Brunello (Anima e Cuore): This wine closely matches how I think of the '15 Brunello vintage at this point in its evolution. Fruit-forward with fresh oak, figgy and ripe. Violet, cherry jam on the nose. On returning to the glass some eucalyptus and a herbal complexity starts to emerge. A touch of bitterness alongside ripe red fruit on the palate, lots of ripe tannin and decent length on the finish. This is a big, friendly vintage which wants to please- really appealing and on this showing will benefit from 5 years or so

Pnp. This is good. What a wonderful Brunello, just as you expect and want it. No detours, no odd surprises, just a good Brunello. You know: red cherry, medium bodied, earthy notes. The color of th wine is starting to recede from dark red to that aging amber. Good to drink now, but it will still have plenty of years ahead, if you care to wait. It will be hard, though.
Showing well right now. Decanted for 2 hours at 65 degrees F. Earth and neutral oak on the nose. This wine is very clean and precise. Medium + acidity. Medium, well-integrated tannins. The finish goes on and on.

Opened for about an hour then recorded and brought to the restaurant with us. 3rd bottle consumed over the past 2 years. Light burgundy in color, notes of bright cherry and earth on the nose. Cherry and a hint of chocolate, with some earthiness on the palate. Good acidity. Still some noticeable tannin, but it doesn’t get in the way. Really enjoyable.
