Good deep, bright red. Complex, varietally expressive aromas of redcurrant, dried flowers, tobacco and sweet spices. Supple, broad and very light on its feet, with some spicy oak complicating the flavors of red cherry, tar and licorice. A silky-sweet midweight with harmonious acidity and subtle notes of flowers and graphite on the back. This excellent Brunello boasts sneaky concentration and impeccable balance. (IA)
