Still drinking very well for a 23 year old wine. Dusty brick color had me nervous but everything is still there. Earthy smokey with dried cherry and firm tannins. Quite a bit of sediment so if you still have one of these stand up for a few days and decant carefully.

From magnum. Graphite and tar, with some bacon and earth on the nose. The palate still has huge tannins, it is extremely youthful and powerful. Needs more time!

Nice mature Brunello. Not overly complex but a nice smokey nose with vibrant fruit and acidity. Tannins are a bit dry but enjoyable wine nonetheless

Smooth and pleasant, but not spectacular and slightly one-dimensional.
