Delicious wine somewhat bigger than it’s sibling yet still showing restraint as apposed to the many ‘new world’ Brunello at the Greatwinesworld Miami Beach 2024.

Tasted at Benvenuto Brunello NYC. 15% ABV light to medium garnet. Modern style with moderate oak influence. Controlled and balanced on the whole despite the alcohol. I found many of the heavily oaked wines today to be unattractive but this one I thought worked. Nose has light cherry, red florals and chocolate but clean and balanced. Palate is complex and layered with dark cherry, chocolate, minty menthol and a very rich texture. Finish is persistent. Definitely needs time in the cellar and aeration.

Life is a like a box of chocolates - oh, wait, here you know, what you're getting, chocolate, that is; round, rich, modern - and approachable. #BenvenutoBrunello

A very serious BdM. Nose of blackberry, forest floor, graphite and balsamic. Very concentrated, good now but greatness promised.
At a walk around tasting. Very good wine.
