Rosso that tastes like a Brunello!

First bottle of a half case we bought at the domaine in 2021. Definitely will be better in a few years but nice to try one on the earlier side. What they say is true - this is really easily Brunello level. At this point the nose isn’t giving a ton, but there is great depth of fruit and earth on the palate. This hits in several more parts of the mouth than most wines and the finish goes on for quite a while. Medium plus tannins and acid which should balance out a bit with some more age. Opened the bottle 5 hours prior to service and then decanted for 2. Real candidate to be 9.5+ in a few years.

Juicy and vibrant. Red/dark fruit dominate but there is also earthy flavours and the unmistakeable old world musty library book thing. Silky. Firm but well integrated tannins and high acidity. Great food wine. Better in 5 years.

Wonderful - floral, refined. A bit closed (just bottled a few months ago). Looking forward to trying in a few years!
