  1. Ruby in color with a wide brown/ brick rim.

    Medium bodied with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs and peppercorn.

    Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

    This 14 year old Brunello lost a lot of its fruits at this point. Soft and elegant. Earthy and better with food.

    I paired it with a prosciutto and arugula pizza.

    14.5% alcohol by volume.

    90 points.

    $100.

    Sounds great! Would you say it was slightly past it’s prime or just settling in?
