4.1
Blood sausage, flowers, dried strawberry, tea. The tannin is still green, but there's a certain delicacy - it drinks beautifully. Tasty, complex, multilayered. Yet it feels too young still, and lacks the depth you'd want - very fruit-forward rather than tertiary. Beautiful nonetheless. Brunello 2016 - a firm, chewy vintage with walnut and truffle character waiting underneath. Should have more to give with time.
