Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
on initial decant med+/deep ruby, starting to go garnet at rim a: med int, developed caramel, orange spice, grand mariner, dried cranberry, stem, cabbage
1hr in decanter Deep Ruby [does not look 26yrs old] a: dark dark nose, fresh, no youth of fruit, savory but not over the top T: acid med+, med+ tannin, so fresh, dried raspberry, cranberry, utterly delicious
conc: just evolved over the hr, amazing, almost asks for food!
Tons of Tannins still present, this was decanted for a couple of hrs, and just changed and chnaged, At one point a lot of tar and older fruit, then came back with fresh aged fruit, amazing wine, maybe not asking for food more of a drink by itself so good
