AR | Mid ruby and quite youthful in colour, apart from a hint of raspberry, this isn't giving much away in its aromas, and when you taste the wine, the fruit slightly foreshortened by its moderate tannic grip and decent acidity, but overall rather lacking focus and definition, finishing on an unforgiving bitter and dry note.

MP | Magnificent nose showing tertiary notes, hints of forest floor, forest floor, cooked plum, tinned strawberry, clove, cinnamon, toast and hazelnut. The palate is expressive and expansive with layers of both red and blac fruit encompassing strawberry, black cherry, mulberry, mushroom, cinnamon and tobacco. Here we see acidity and tannins working together to create the backdrop against which the fruit really has an opportunity to shine. Long and seamless, this exemplifies the very best of Brunello.
