"Deep
red. Currant, smoke and nutty oak on the slightly roasted nose. Quite
dry and nutty in the mouth, in a distinctly traditional style, with
suggestions of mint and menthol and fruit in the background. A Brunello
with solid structure and density, finishing with firm, dusty tannins
that avoid coming off as astringent. With aeration, this showed fresher
dark berry and mineral flavors and gained in vibrancy." Rated 90 by Stephen Tanzer
