This is a classic Brunello from an iconic vintage

violet and discreet earth nuances

attractive flavors that finish abruptly on the palate

and a tight acid spine and serious but polished tannins nicely extending and framing the brooding fruit notes and peppery flintiness on the long

it's not hard to imagine the dark berry concentration

Francois Bertheau, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru other_regions_australia This is a classic Brunello(a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers). This is aromatically more elegant and a bit cooler as well though it is still notably ripe with its array of essence of red cherry, pomegranate and a nicely broad range of spice elements. There is adequate vibrancy to the attractively textured medium bodied flavors that terminate in a sappy if slightly austere finish that exude a touch of acidulated cherry bon bons. Fine quality here.
