2008. Slight herbal note on the nose, nice texture, but leaner on the palate. More traditional style, I liked it.

Full-bodied, earthy, with a lovely bouquet. Plums and fresh red cherries with a hint of chocolate.

Herbal. Reduced? Brett? Hmmmm. Couple of well respected winemakers loved it. Maybe I donโ€™t understand shit.

Chocolate, currants, bright raspberries, and dark cherries with a bit of pepper. Silky smooth, fabulous bouquet, and a satisfying finish.

I've had better vintages of this bottle than 2008, but I think that is to be expected from Brunello. I wish they brought their 2010 or 2006. I still enjoyed the glass. Not as enjoyable as past tastings. Cheers!!
