"A juicy and fruity red with plum, cherry and ripe orange-peel character. It's medium-bodied with a round and polished tannin texture and a fruity finish. Very drinkable now, but will improve with age."

"Just mid ruby. Marasca cherry, pine, hints of smoke and tobacco leaf. Light cherry-fruit palate with a thick layer of powdery tannins. Lacks a little in fruit for the tannic load. (WS)"

"Sour cherries are complemented by cedar shavings and spiced orange hints as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino slowly evolves in the glass. This is youthfully tight and lean, with a core of tart red berry fruits and mineral tones that saturate under an air of rosy inner florals. Gently tannic and long, the 2020 leaves the senses drenched in primary concentration. Patience is needed to allow this to fill out and put on some weight."
