A library release from the famous Tuscan producer who invented the Brunello category, one made when it was still family-owned before its 2020 sale to EPI. The wine has lovely, haunting aromas of preserved fruits and warm oak with flavors primarily of ripe cherries and orange and orange peel. Very full-bodied and with a firm structure, it is slowly evolving from its more tannic state but very drinkable now.
