Notes of underbrush and small red fruits, nuances of vanilla and spicy finish. The generous aroma of the wine reveals hints of blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, licorice and minerals. The wine shows a rich, fruity taste with notes of cherries, blueberries and spices, elegant tannins and a long finish. Those sweet and savory sides are expertly folded into each other, and the rich, concentrated fruit of the vintage helps to smooth out those flavors, adding overall intensity along the way. This is a terrific expression that faithfully reflects the beauty of Brunello. It is a lovely wine.
