A wonderfully sweet and spicy nose with nice intensity and complexity. The palate needs some time to shed some tannins but this will be very special if the fruits lives long enough to see that day. #brunellodimontalcino #valdicava

Black cherry pits, grape concentrate, cola, eucalyptus, graphite, bay leaf, tobacco, tar, tarragon, cedar. Excellent acid/smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy/silky texture, deceptively full bodied, long smoky/herbal slightly peppery finish. Decanting strongly recommended, texture and nose developed beautifully after 1 1/2 hours.

grosse surprise !

j'ai adoré ce brunello
une robe rubis foncée

j'ai ressentis un bouquet avec des arômes de cerises, framboise et une pointe de noix de muscade ,
je m attendais a des arômes de chocolat vanille mais pas sur celui
dégusté.
très équilibré et bien structuré,

les tanins sont doux et long en bouche

nous l avons bu avec un arrista du maiale .

belle surprise
