Pretty disappointing wine. Popped an poured initially and the wine was thin, rough, overoaked and nothing like Brunello. Felt very modern in a bad way. I followed it over the course of two nights and although the wine filled out slightly and began to show some more charm, the rough tannins and oak remained prominent. There are some herb and anise flavors in this wine with a little bitter chocolate, but the fruit is just disappointing. How this wine's fruit turned out so hollow given the amazing vintage conditions is beyond me. It's an OK drinker of a wine, but nothing special.
