Lovely Brunello but so young and close that it is a crime to drink today :-) this 2009 Brunello will be amazing in 2020, now it is just too tight to be fully enjoyed, a deep garnet color, a lovely complex aroma of black current, cassis, wiled cherries, plums, espresso and spices, full body, rich with tight dry tannins and a spectacular acidity to support long aging, a long long delicious sexy finish. A true pleasure, my score 90, drink 2018-2027

Absolutely wonderful. Not as intense as the 08', much more elegant and old world in flare. It wasn't about the oak, and more about the Sangeovese. The color had gone to garnet and the aromas were earthy and barnyard like, with licorice, violet and cedar notes. The pallet was firm and alive, exhibiting notes of tobacco and leather, dark cherry notes, clove, blackberries, and a gripping, smooth finish. I can't wait to dive into their 2010's whenever they are available!

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruits. The palate reveals sweet cherry and berry fruits with currants and hints of tobacco and cacao with a hit of pepper spice. The wine is balanced with acidity and tannins, on the smooth side. The finish shows some smoke and earthy tones is medium in length and ends nicely. Drink now. Tasting Sample.

Very good Brunello. Need to decant, hold in your cellar if you have not opened yet. Lots of bright fruit on this one. Very nice wine.

Young but showing great. Dark fruits, coffee and tobacco. Silky tannins and balanced acidity. And the company was unbeatable making it all better.

Lovely wild cherry, wild berry, vibrant acidity, and a little camphor make for a delightful Brunello!
