Tasting Notes: Good aromas of dark fruit, such as black plums and blueberries, followed by violets and a hint of baking spice. Medium-bodied and firm with brisk acidity. Persistent finish with a savory herb aftertaste. Dense and focused. Slightly chewy at the end. Give this more time to come around. Try after 2027.

Tasting Notes: The nose is perfumed but clean, with aromas of tulips, clay pot, rhubarb and citrus. The palate brings the denser sweetness of cherries and berries, but the terra-cotta element also comes through more powerfully thanks to clay-like tannins and a current of acidity.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of plum, forest floor and blue flower mingle with oak-driven spice and whiffs of tobacco on this fragrant Brunello. On the full-bodied, linear palate, tightly woven, close-grained tannins envelop ripe black cherry, orange zest and truffle before a black tea finish.
