Interesting aromas of cola and plums, with hints of ripe strawberries. Full body, with velvety and chewy tannins with a long flavorful finish. Fruit and butterscotch aftertaste. Structured. Better in 2014.

Good full medium red. Musky red fruits on the nose, complicated by smoky minerality. Plush and silky but not heavy, offering enticing sweetness of red fruit and earth flavors and an almost glyceral texture. Very 2007 in style. Finishes pliant and rich, with a note of licorice and surprising medicinal reserve.

Bold, plump and softer expression of Brunello with sweet berry fruit, chocolate fudge, cinnamon spice and almond marzipan. The wine's appearance is dark and well extracted. Despite the grandeur of the nose, the mouthfeel is compact, tight and firm. - M.L.
