Comments: My first Brunello - although not as big as I had expected, perhaps due to holding time, the tannins were nice and round, more medium bodied than full. Beautiful ruby color, loam and mineral on front palate, nice dark fruit on mid-palate and satisfying finish. Delicious paired with Bizteca Florentine and crisped potatoes.

Comments: Really nice and smooth. Had rounded out significantly. Prefer stronger, more forward Brunello, still great to drink. $52 VW

Comments: "A Brunello for everyone. Solid and focused, with mineral, blackberry and licorice character. Full-bodied and very chunky, with lots of round tannins and a long, long finish...94." WS 6/02.
