Estimate
...absolutely compelling...magnificent from the very first taste. Rich and ample on the palate with silky tannins in support...captures the very best qualities of a vintage in which the wines are sensual and finessed to the core...a knock out.
This is a sensual, layered Brunello that only gradually reveals its seductive charm. Sweet, silky tannins support a core of ripe dark fruit all the way through to the sublime, delicate finish.
...aromas are rich and penetrating and recall cherry liqueur, cola, mesquite, cedar, wet earth and pressed violets...texture is streamlined and compact with polished tannins.
There's licorice on the nose, with some salt and ripe cherry, in this Brunello, which has very intense aromas that lead to a chewy, concentrated, full-bodied palate.
Amazingly fine, perfumed sweet nose with notes of tea leaves and pure cherry. Wonderful precision of fruit on the palate and richly tannic... Wonderful depth on the finish.
