Reduced nose but magnificent texture on the palate where raspberry dominates, great freshness, beautiful balance, still tannic finish. A wine with a great future.

Knockout nose. Layers of precise red fruit with lifted herbs and spices. Structured with vibrant acidity. Super long bright cherry finish. Delicious. Hold.

Opened in the bottle for several hours. Initially a lot of game and earth but fortunately faded. Sweet/ripe red fruit, baking spice, tobacco, anise, and mineral. High acid and tannin but not obtrusive. Drink now with a long decant or hold a decade.

Had this at dinner last night, so no formal note, but this drank great. Already accessible for such a young wine. I don't know much about this particular release other than it seems like it's an early release Brunello (at least for Stella).

Generous airtime in bottle already. Drank in Grassl Cru. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of slight VA, slight smoked meat + tanned leathrr, tar earth, crazy crayons and clay, licorice, dark red cherries. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), structured high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, dark red cherries, red plums, licorice, sweet BBQ meat, leather, tarry earth. Very long finish. Very good quality. Lovely Brunello. Will continue to age and develop well.
