  Still a year or two away from greatness.

  Ruby red colour not excessively deep, with light garnet reflections. On the nose, floral aromas of violet, cyclamen and jasmine, notes of fresh fruit and spicy hints. In the mouth it is well balanced, with a good structure and acidity as well as very smooth tannins, showing overall an excellent persistence.

  A pretty serious step up from the base bottling, this has lots of juicy red fruit, good soil, and floral markers; improves with time in the glass. Looks to have a good future; I'd hold a few more years. A good success. recommended, with upside noted.

  Recommended purchase by a good friend. I love this elegant and lighter Brunello style. Very refined nose of forest fruits and cedar notes. Elegant mouthfeel with still a lot of baby fat and acidity. This will age gracefully. Potential 95.

  Tasted at Benvenuto Brunello NYC. Only 9,000 bottles produced. I don't know how the winemaking here may have differed from the 2015 "normale". This wine is translucent medium garnet and overall medium bodied but intensely flavored yet elegant. Lots of structure for long aging both acidity and ripe tannin. Incredible length and depth with cherry licorice, some forest floor notes but this really needs some time in the cellar. At this point it is "wine infanticide" to drink this. Could be truly spectacular in a decade plus!
