Solid medium priced Brunello. Pleasant earthy and subtle dark rose petals on the nose. A bit tight in opening. After 2 hours of air the palate was delightful with cherry, undergrowth, cinnamon, clove, a touch of leather and balsamic in a complex layered blend that evolves. The finish was long and satisfying with prominent yet subtle tannins. Great value compared to three digit Brunello. The key is allowing the time to breathe.
