Some darkness (many reviews mention leather, wood) on the vibrant nose. Dark fruit, acidity, and very dry at the start. Zippy midpalate and dark, dry, lingering finish, with chewy tannins. Best on the first couple of days. Well made - just not my favorite style. Mostly Brunello (sangiovese) with a splash of cab and petite verdot. From the Montalcino region.

Drank my 2. of 6 purchased bottles. This one noticeable more Brett, as I remember the first bottle. Too much for me, as it overshadows the fruit IMO. Behind the brett, I sense a nice Chianti Cl. Will wait a few months before opening bottle #3…

Same notes as previous. Slightly too bratty for me. Will try to decant and oxidise more next time, to see if bret (or reductive) notes can be lowered
