Leafy underbrush, new leather, dark berry and chopped herb aromas waft out of the glass. The fresh, chewy palate doles out succulent wild cherry, ripe raspberry, white pepper and cinnamon notes, blanketed in smooth, round tannins. A licorice note caps off the finish. It's already delicious but will also offer fine drinking over the next several years. Drink 2018–2024.
Color: ruby red, bright and clear. Nose: perfume fragrant nose with predominant aromas of ripe red fruit, especially cherry, in which blend harmoniously pleasant spicy notes. Taste: the taste is elegant, soft and well balanced with a lively vein of freshness to balance the set. Good persistence.
Very nicely balanced Brunello. A little smoke on the front palate, and then it's all textbook. Licorice, brambly black fruit, tart cherry. Nice acidity at the finish
