  Auction purchase. 50% bleed on a long cork. Nicely aged with good balance of tertiary flavors and dark fruit. Coffee, black tea, blackberry. Medium plus length. In a good place and may hold, but I see no upside.

  Purchased upon release and cellared in pristine fashion, this deep garnet/amber wine, now 22 years of age, is absolutely delicious. Double-decanted off of its substantial coarse sediment, it was allowed approximately one hour in decanter before funneling back into the cleaned bottle. The wine was then presented in double-blind fashion to our tasting group, with my taste being unblinded. Fully mature yet retaining a core of gorgeous red fruit, it adds complex notes of cinnamon, leather, gingerbread, iron, anise and bramble leaf. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, softly oaked and with melted tannins, it has impressive mid-palate density and finishes very long. This is everything that a mature Brunello should be! Well-cellared bottles will provide pleasure for another four years or more. Drink now-2023.

  At its peak and really has depth of Sangiovese flavor with tremendous length. I really like this wine and may drink another bottle tomorrow.
