A good start when it comes to aroma, taste and overall balance, but average halfway through. It proved a poor pairing with a selection of strong cheeses and Parma ham - my tastebuds were so overloaded that something stronger was required. As it happened, this Brunello tasted almost watery at certain stages. Lesson learned: a good offering, but better enjoyed with lighter meals.
