Poured out garnet, with some purplish hues. Decanted and tasted over two hours. Rich nose of baked black fruits, tobacco, some earthy, dusty characters, and a patina of volatile acidity. Heaps of prune on the palate, though the acidity does provide an impression of fresher sour cherries on the mid-palate. Concentrated and full-bodied, which most on the table commended. Nice tannins that was fine and dusty, at medium-high levels, appearing mostly on the gums (base of teeth). Finished warm, with more maderised fruit, touched by savoury balsamic and meaty notes. Lacking vitality for me, so not a fan - thought it might have been affected by lacklustre storage conditions, but my notes seem consistent with some CT users. Bottle variation has been noted by others.

2011 vintage, medium plus tannin, medium acidity, well structure, on the nose secondary aroma is coming out, forest floor, dried violet, can def age longer. Great value too.

Aromatically closed. This had a riper fruit character, and the aging in French barrique made it richer on the palate. While I think it's good,I'm a much bigger fan of more traditional Brunello. This doesn't have the aromatic complexity that Sangiovese is so famous for.

Solid Brunello with an earthy nose and leathery flavor. Nothing special and a little pricey, but a classic Brunello.

Decanted 2+ hours. Color Ruby and cut glass--bright in the glass. Nose is highly perfumed, sweet, flower petals, sugar candy. Slides over the tongue and is light bodied and tannic. Cherry, mushroom or forest floor, flowers on the palate. Fun.
