Light ruby with a narrower brighter rim , just hinting at garnet . More floral and lighter red fruit , with strawberry , raspberry and light red cherry , hints of red rose and cedar , slightly stony edge also, will need time to open up . On the palate this has quite a lot more acidity and gritty tannins, red cherry , raspberry , orange rind and a real freshness and elegance . Balanced alcohol and good cherry tinged length . Very balanced and elegant , also pretty young , needs a few more years to open . Probably better in a 5 years or so and will last well a further 5-10 . The most ethereal and poised of the Brunellis in this tasting . — a month ago

Gorgeous! Apparently first and only vintage that will be made of this. Moving forward it will be produced as a Brunello. Wish I could acquire more. — 6 years ago

Mellow, well developed with balanced structure and beautiful aromas. Smooth on palate with hint of acidity, mild tannins, and generous finish. — 9 years ago
