This unique Brunello shows aromas of ginger snap, cinnamon, cherry cola and wild forest berry. The aromas are delivered in a delicate manner, with tiny footprints, that add to the overall complexity and elegance of the experience. Violets, wet earth and button mushroom appear on the close. — (5/1/2013) —91

Classic Brunello, albeit in a bold, dense style. Delicate, ethereal Sangiovese accents emerge, but the wine is also packed tight with modern aromas of spice, leather and dark chocolate. It shows nice balance and complexity. Textured tannins and tight structure keep it firmly in place. ——M.L.(5/1/2012)—— 91

Loaded with aromas of black fruit, cured meat, ripe cherry, spice, vanilla bean and moist pipe tobacco, this beautiful Brunello would pair with mesquite grilled steak or pork roll stuffed with chopped rosemary. The wine delivers intensity and bright freshness that drives a zesty, tonic aftertaste. ——M.L.(4/1/2011)—— 92
