December 3, 2015 - HDH holiday tasting (Chicago, IL): From magnum. You gotta be kidding me. This is the stuff that all the "critics" have been trying to sling? The vaunted 2010: the Brunello vintage of the year/decade/century/millenium. Beyond the pleasant red fruit, what else is there? Spicy oak? Yeah, I love me some spicy oak.

We were left dumbfounded, and basically poured both bottles down the sink. Undrinkable, tasted of cherry acid rain and oak. Bury for a decade and hope like hell, but I doubt these will be any good.
So, couldn't agree with you more!!!! -

Then again, Brunello is not for everyone....
