still needs to age a bit, you can smell the must and dirt floor that is a hallmark of a brunello, but the color was not nearly as bricky/inky (that browny tint that mutes some of the purple color) as other brunellos of that age or older. Not sure if that color changes with age.
Approachable and drinkable now. Bits of complexity in the finish

not yout typical brunello, not overly mineraly, but hints of blackberry on the tongue with a barnyard type nose could sit a bit longer, but delightful expression of a younger brunello

The wine looks tawny colored. The legs are medium. It smells like clove. It tastes like forest floor, mineral and light toast. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture.
Classic Montalcino, very nice, notes of sour cherries
