(at Decanter tasting suite, 02 Mar 2020)
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2024
Brick-coloured, with attractive savoury, herby, sun-dried tomato aromas leading to a palate showing lovely lifted freshness. Fine-grained, sandy tannins hold just enough ripeness, while a gentle wave of acidity brings in relaxed herbal cherry flavours, framed by subtle wood. Slight sour cherry tang on the finish. Good structure, grace and harmony. A baby Brunello!
