Truncated notes. Advancing faster than other 15s I’ve had, it seems ready to drink with loads of secondary and tertiary characteristics of leather, earth, and warm terra cotta roof tile. Tannins resolving, the palate still shows a bit of nice dark macerated cherry fruit, and nice buoyant acid.

Smells of carmalized almonds.

Dried cherry, persimmon, anise, medium bodied and well made. Perfect time for cork popping, this is ready to drink and drinking well.
Lingering dried dark fruits, slight acidity, and just a chino or two of tannin.

Smells like roasted almond

Fresh fruit shows through here - red delicious apple, Pom, cherry preserve. Roof of your mouth tannins , slight acidity.
Light in body, light in weight.
Easy quaffer.

Doesn’t quite measure up to other Brunellos at the price range. Bright fruit but leaves you wanting and waiting.

Color of burgundy, light and clear. Nose of ripe grapes, aldehyde, spice, cinnamon, mint, and indeed quite light. Taste follows the nose with addition of some sweetness, zest, very mellow tannins, a bit tea, and a tiny bit peppery. Aftertaste is medium short. Overall, clean, light and enough flavors. On par.
