The 2011 Brunello opens with aromas of dark cherries and blackberries which merge with spices, floral and a hint of cinnamon. It possesses an alluring soft, silky texture with remarkable balance and finesse. Everything comes beautifully on the long, sleek finish as it leaves behind streaks of red fruits, spices and licorice lingering on. A fantastic effort, but allow it another year or two for it to flesh out. (Best 2017-2027) - February, 2016 (JD)
