Nose: Leather, mushroom, floral, cranberry/cherry Palate: Good acidity that carries from beginning to end; red fruit; medium body; integrated tannins; vanilla/oak; slight heat at the end; good on its own but likely better with food
Very nice

This was a really pleasant surprise for me. I'm not always a Brunello person sometimes finding them a bit too oaked and intense. But this was very well integrated. Nicely structured. It's certainly more full bodied than some of the older nebbiolos we had, but it worked for the wine. Very nice.

upon double decanting: dark opaque red-purple. rich aromas of ripe dark fruits with earthy notes. full bodied, firm tannins, ripe fruits, mouth filling, rich, pleasant finish.
after 3 hours: the wine opened somewhat, but didn't impress as a very outstanding wine, but it was much more approachable.
