We had the 20111 Vintage on 2/8/25. Black fruit, leather and pepper on the bouquet . Black cherry, leather and tobacco on the palate. A darker toned wine than the 2010. Still very good. Tannins were all smoothed out. Medium bodied and truly Old World

We had the 2011 Vintage on 10/4-5/22. After aeration, this wonderful Brunello boasts a bouquet of red fruit and leather. The palate has red cherry, raspberry, leather and tobacco. Medium bodied and Old World. Very enjoyable.

Lovely brunello. Classic floral fruit and a hint of cigar and essence of green pepper on the nose Approachable with velvety tannins. Lovely brunello. Perfectly paired.

Don’t drink Tuscan wines often but just opened this and it is a profoundly moving and emotional wine. For a bad vintage was in a perfect place
