Concentrated jam of fruits. Cooked cherry and blackcurrant. Dried prune. A bit of astringency. A young 2008 !

09' Castel Giocondo Brunello Di Montalcino. Jetlagged & sick the last few days. Arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world... Positano!

Great longevity on the backend. Wonderfully fragrant and delicious. The inside of my cheeks are tingling long after I swallowed.

V09. Very nice, long way to go...olive and cedar nose . Rich, thick, black berry fruit. Tight, peppery, somewhat chalky, finish. Balanced, really good..
