Complicated wine. Cooked plums and cherries, heavy VA, balsamic, band aid, dried roses and violets, rich and meaty. Heavily flawed but still somewhat delicious. Glad we paid $26 instead of $47.

Great taste, easy to drink, gets more complex and robust after airing

It's a predictable Brunello. And its ok because it means that the wine is excellent. The fruits are subdued. Vanilla, tobacco and some chocolate notes dominate on my nose and in mouth.
