Tasting notes

Red colour, lightly bricking. Not that deep, but young looking for the age. Dark berries on the nose. Still primary fruitiness. Some oak. Light hints of anise. Fullbodied in the mouth. Fruit seems on one side faded and not that concentrated. Yet it is still primary and has not developed somthing interesting other than the primary fruit. Dark young berries, oak and light anise in the mouth. Very simplistic style. Medium acidity. Some tannins in the back offering some structure to the wine. It is drinking fairly enough, but it is disappointing that this is so simple in style. One expects more from a brunello.
