Agree completely with AG, this wine is totally accessible (albeit we decanted for an hour) with "silky tannins frame the long close, where scents of smoke and licorice add complexity to a final burst of red fruit". Not much I can add except it was delicious with a home made pasta sauce with diced flank steak, peppers, onion and tomatoes. Worked perfectly.

Very fresh bold cherry on the palate, very juicy, doesn't really come across like brunello. Super approachable. Easy going. Medium acidity and tannin, which I wouldn't associate with Brunello. Works at $39 though.

Drinking beautifully, with dark fruit, smoke and earth. Paired with pasta in spicy red meat sauce, perfect!

Lots of red fruit, spice and a hint of pepper and earth. Delicious, and drinking nicely.
