Plenty of raspberry, mineral and floral aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with good vanilla oak character and a medium finish. Slightly too much new wood, but I like it. Nice fruit. Best after 2005. 2,750 cases made, 800 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Strong-willed and pure smelling, with lush cherry, cola and tree bark aromas mingling with berry and cherry. While it sits on the fence between racy and creamy, it delivers vanilla and chocolate flavors along with pure plum and black cherry. Features sharp tannins and bracing acidity.
