Very much alive and in it’s prime - cherry leather, pipe tobacco, dried herbs. A little fig and fennel. Silky smooth tannins; better the next day!

Excellent, elegant, I would never get tired if this. The love and craftsmanship of this Brunello comes through for me.

We had this on 4/21-22/19. This was a terrific Brunello with tastes of black cherry, chocolate and leather. The tannins smoothed out nicely. An Old World, medium bodied wine. More fruit forward than most Brunellos. Glad I have more of this.

Beautiful aroma of cherry, spice , leather and smoke. Mouth Filling and coating. Classic brunello proportion with great balance and builds on the palate. Many years left in this wine.

Eucalyptus, anise, burnt sugar/brûlée. Big and bold punch of flavor on the front palate. Bright red cherries, a hint of tobacco box, finishing with plum, bay leaf.

Beautiful wine. Beat the previously reviewed Barolo in a head to head, and I'm generally more partial to Barolo.
