Estimate
Aromas of wild berry, underbrush, dried herbs and leather shape the nose. It's medium in body, with tension and structure that support flavors of pomegranate, red cherry, licorice and tobacco...taut, refined tannins and fresh acidity...
...a firm frame of dark fruit, and you really taste the richness and concentration... Dark cherry and blackberry cede to potting soil and ethereal balsam herb.
A ripe but vibrant Brunello offering aromas of dried orange peel, lemon drizzle cake, balsamic, tar and baking spices. Primary and energetic on the palate, which is medium-to full-bodied and swathed in wiry, firm tannins that ooze polish and class. Finely framed and delicate on the finish.
Steely, clean aromas of red berries, herbs and underbrush, are complemented by a lovely violet topnote. Clean and fresh, with a very refined personality and a savory quality on the long floral, and politely-styled finish. Well done.
... A little brooding and concentrated. Cool cherry and ripe raspberry fruit with fine, coating tannins. Hugely enjoyable and elegant at the same time and with a long, succulent finish revealing depth and complexity.
