Deep ruby-red. Fragrant aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, herbs and minerals. Then juicy and easygoing, with a midweight palate presence and clean red/blue fruit flavors persisting nicely on the cool, crisp finish. Not a blockbuster (in keeping with the difficult year) but very pure. This Brunello boasts early appeal and is best drunk up quickly; but it's a very fine showing for 2014.
