Wow, this is exactly what aged Brunello should taste like. Rich cherry and savory, sweet spices with just the right amount of texture. Neither too big nor too light. Just perfect for a 1995 that very few people seem to have tried or heard of. It required about 1/2 hour to start to open up, and then we loved it. Drink in the next ~3 years.

Dark, rich, and overly wooded until it's given time to open up. Decant this for an hour and then enjoy.

Time to drink up! This is not getting any better. Still requires a decant and then becomes a nice Southern Rhone.
