Fruit plays second fiddle to dark aromas such as resin, pine nut, fennel seed, maple syrup, mint and exotic spice. Lush cherries and ripe forest berries do come forward in the mouth. Good structure with a dusty, anise-driven finish.

This delivers aromas of black cherry and dark notes of burnt bread that are so sharp, they are almost pungent. The mouthfeel, on the other hand, is clean, smooth and shows good endurance.

Beauty, harmony and balance are the essence of this wonderful Brunello. Aromas peel back layer after layer to reveal dried fruit, balsam, cola, spice and forest floor. The wine tastes both chewy and tart enough to make your lips pucker. It has firm, drying tannins and needs three to five more years of cellar aging.

Aromas of green spice, crushed peppercorn, dried sage and espresso characterize this wine; as do its firm, sour tannins. The color is dark, slightly brownish and suggests that the wine is aging fast and won’t hold. Drink now.
