This bottle did not show as well as previous bottles. It improved with air, but it came across a little sweet and raisiny. Lots of tertiary aromas and flavors like earth, leather, soy, maple, and a little funk.

A few Brunelli - 1995: My favorite tonight. Interesting nose with floral and spice notes. Quite a bit of fruit remaining. Solid acidity and some tannin here, too. This one comes across as young.

Bricky orange coloring on the edges. This has developed some nice earthy/leathery notes but there is still quite a bit of ripe, almost sweet, fruit that emerges with air. We both enjoyed this wine and there seems to be plenty of life left.

Dark fruit (cherry, slight blackberry), spice, slight tobacco, earth, leather, slight herb. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Nice complexity. Really enjoyable.

There has been some bottle variation with these, but this was a good bottle. This one had more energy and seemed less sweet. Ann liked it a lot.

Similar to the last bottle a year or so ago. Drinking well.
