Estimate
The bouquet produces a long succession of aromas including dried cherry fruit, licorice, cola, lavender flower, cured meat and black truffle. The velvety finish is supple and long in persistence. This is a gorgeous creation.
A big and rich Brunello with plenty of ripe fruit, chocolate and hazelnut. Full body and round and chewy tannins. Solid as a rock.
Broad-shouldered and dense, with plum, cherry, leather, iron and tobacco flavors gaining intensity as this complex red evolves on the palate. The finish is very stony, with a lingering aftertaste of chalk and iron.
Flinty nuances complicate strawberry, floral and blood orange aromas...outstanding precision to the spicy red fruit and earth flavors. Finishes with substantial fine-grained tannins and outstanding length.
Nutty oaky nose that needs lots of aeration and with cherry-liqueur notes...fantastic balance and a long finish.
