Community Tasting Note

SundevilDC Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 1, 2023 - So I have to disagree with the prevailing sentiment here - this was an excellent bottle of Brunello. From magnum - incredibly tannic when opened, but with lots of fruit and acidity to support it. Decanted 3 hours and drank over the following two. After a decant this was beautifully balanced. Brick red, concentrated, and full bodied. Dark cherry and raspberries lead, followed by cedar, tobacco, leather.

I must stress that this is not a PnP bottle. It needs some time in the decanter, but it's drinking beautifully right now. The fruit, acid, and tannins would lead me to believe this can cruise in the cellar for a while, but I have one more magnum of this, and I'll likely be opening it in the next year or two - with high expectations.
