    Crunchy, juicy red fruit. Some red cherries. A hint of tannic structure, lots of herbal spice. A touch menthol and medicinal, with quite a bit of sweet oak coming through on the palate. Really very modern and approachable. Nice richness, good intensity. Good ripeness, lots of chocolate and rich structure. Velvety structure. Maybe a bit softer and rounder than expected for Brunello, but that makes it so much more accessible and enjoyable. Really quite a lovely wine - but is it recognisably Brunello?
