Could benefit from a few more years but showing quite a bit on the palate after an hour opened. Dark red and soft black fruits, tobacco and old library book. Good times.

A delightful Brunello. Aged only 3 years in oak versus some I have had aged for 5. Wonderful fruit forward with a long long finish

Earthy, smooth, perfect with a nice Italian meal in LA.

Nice Brunello. A little light for my taste.
