I am not glad I waited so long to drink this wine, but am not displeased either. The color is subdued burgundy, with no brown edges. The nose has menthol, licorice, plum and vanilla at the end, The wine I would say is slightly past peak, but the flavors noted were of mature dried fruit, plummy and curranty. It went fabulously with lamb and a mint sauce that emphasized the mildly gaminess of the lamb. Don't you love a left hander. Brother Amarone.

the 2010 Campogiovanni Brunello, was drinking absolutely at its peak last night, tannins were nicely incorporated, nose subdued but beautiful, balanced wine with still good acidity, softened red fruit with a bit of fig, total mouth feel, finish was medium in length, went fantastically with light Italian fare of sausages, peppers and onions grilled outside in 20 deg. F temps. Wore a Down Jacket to do the grilling but worth it. Brother Amarone
