Tasting Notes

A red with cherry, walnut, bark and hints of dried flowers. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and a tight finish. Really reserved now. Needs three or four years to open. Best after 2024.

Bricky red. Even sweeter smelling than the straight Brunello and smells more developed too. Gorgeous peppery spice on the nose with that senescent fruit like dried cherries. Chewy, very textured, quite thick tannins with lovely fruit sweetness at the heart. More power, less friendly than the straight Brunello. 2024-2034
