Nice Brunello, although it's definitely quite tough and rustic right now. A blast on leather on the nose, maybe that's VA- I also got some notes of warm red cherries and baked plums. Tannins aren't too gritty, but they're there. Thankfully the acidity is pretty dialed-in, vibrant, not too sour or tart. The earthy, leathery profile here was overwhelming at times, but some folks might be into that. I've definitely had Brunello with just as much earthiness, but also much more fruit and presence.

Al naso gradevole e profonda complessità di profumi. Al palato strutturato, corposo. Giusto equilibrio, eleganti e fini i tannini, ben amalgamati. Frutti rossi ed accenno di terziari di tabacco, pelle e botte nel finale, rendono elegante e beverino questo ottimo Brunello di Montalcino. Giusta persistenza.

Solid if unspectacular but a great bargain as always.
