Another great Brunello from Frescobaldi and will only improve with age. Perfect with well aged parmigiano reggiano or a great cut of red meat.

Dried cherries, new leather, wood spice, green/stalky. Chewy tannins, balanced med. high acidity with earth and spice dominating the palate.

So much black tea. Thought it would be overripe but super well-made wine. Will cellar the next few for several years.

Ripe cherry, black olives, very balanced. Vegetal tones like asparagus, brussel sprouts.

17/20 (92/100) Аромат с нотами черничного варенья, яблока и бальзамика. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, сухими, почти гладкими по текстуре танинами. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо.

A dull crimson nose of sour cherries, adequate acidity but fruit that stops short
