Estimate
The identity presented here is one of a dark and concentrated wine with generous tones of dried cherry, cola, licorice and toasted espresso. This wine sees 90% French barrique and 10% aging in large Slavonian oak casks and that extra oak spice is evident. The wine also shows those delicate aromas of balsam herb and dried rose that are always such a pleasure to find in Brunello. This is a bold wine for game or grilled meats.
Rich and dense, with a chunky swath of tannins rolling over the cherry, almond, black tea and underbrush notes. A broad, savory style, with a tobacco-tinged finish.
The palate offers fleshy black cherry accented with white pepper and chocolate alongside big, round tannins.
