A wonderfully complex nose, open and evolved yet fresh and alive, and a huge range of aromas with violet and wild red berry, leather, sandalwood, dried fruits along with toasty, balsamic notes. Opulent and well structured on the palate with ripe red fruits balanced by youthful acidity and fine grained tannins. Hugely complex with finesse and delicacy and a long, savoury, nuanced finish. Remarkably approachable for a wine of this stature though will undoubtedly improve over a decade or more.

From a 2.5 ha plot of very low yielding 35 year old vines, produced only in the best vintages. This is exceptional by any standards, with depth, richness and complexity in equal measure and a level of finesse rarely found in Brunello.
