  2 hours in the decanter ⏰🕙
  Well, if you like Margeaux wines, then you will like this one. Delicate structure and texture, but the rest is quite different. Very complicated though.
  Classical red cherry and milk chocolate in both smell and taste. Minerals both in smell and taste. Coffee, plum, tobacco - also the same story.
  Acidity and tannins - perfect!
  Very juicy, addictive, sophisticated, high class wine.
  Nice, soft spice, it starts from the beginning to the end.
  ...
  2010 was extraordinary vintage in Brunello. It got 98 points according to the WA Vintage Guide.

  In line with previous notes this was showing that pipe tobacco and leather character, and plenty of raisin and fig fruit. But noticeably better on this occasion, finally seeming relaxed and resolved rather than tight for hours and hours upon opening. In my opinion this is now at its peak.

  Showing some brick on the rim but showing even more maturity on the nose. Earthy red cherry, sweet yet mature. Palate is more of the same, juicy, but dry with soft tannins,. Red cherry and red plum fruit, some woody earthy complexity on finish, but mainly dry and a little short. Overall, seems to be tiring, would finish my last bottle asap if i can find it, but a nice tasty mature brunello.

  Very solid Brunello, ripened to perfection. Needs air before fully opening but will pay back for your patience with red berries, vanilla, hints of chocolate, well integrated tannins.
