92 Points
Dark red color and surprisingly muted nose of dry brush, dried cranberry and tobacco. Decanted and let sit for an hour, but still closed on the nose. Even after two hours it still had not opened up fully.
The flavor is quite a contrast.
Plum and more cranberry rush out and then are followed by more traditional Brunello tightness of dirt and slight tannin bite through a long finish. It is a very classic Brunello and drinking quite well now, but I can imagine it lasting several more years quite nicely.
I rate this a 96. James Suckling noted wine writer with a focus on Italian wine gave it the knock out score of 100.
Excellent with a spicy Indian meal. Very nice to enjoy after the meal.
