Fruity, smooth with just a slight hint of pepper. Not too dry. Full bodied β 2 months ago
Medium orange-rimmed ruby in color. Not too expressive on the nose: some dried flowers, albeit with stems and potting soil. Medium plus bodied. Medium minus acidity. Dry with nice initial palate feel but then gives way to bitterness and somewhat rough tannins. Medium alcohol at 14.0ABV but feels hotter. Some cranberry/unripe strawberry left, but not much else--pehaps some woody vanilla. At 8 years old, I would expect some tertiary flavors to have begun to develop. I don't think this is improving. It's a strong Brunello with a stiff upper lip, would pair well with a Florentine steak, but not elegant.

Great drinking Brunello that is showing good balance, aromatics with its bright dark berry fruit, spice, dried herbs, menthol, tobacco & violets β 24 days ago
