This promising Brunello is hallmarked by pretty cherry, strawberry, currant, and floral aromas and flavors. Starts out elegant and lacy, then the dense matrix of tannins emerges, giving different character to the long finish. Reveals wild herb and mineral notes that add depth. Best from 2025 through 2043. —B.S.
What We Thought: Big floral aromas frame the nose with violets and black fruit, and the smooth, medium- to full-bodied palate is filled with ripe black cherry and black raspberry fruit, along with some leather and
meaty iron notes, finishing with firm but supple tannins that reward decanting but promise a long life in
the cellar.
