These always remind me of modern Brunello, but fall a bit short. I couldn't believe that this wine was a 2000, the fruit in the nose was still very prevalent, some brett, sour cherry, and green herbs- little oaky, barrel forward. Overall, a real black horse of a wine.

Beyond it's peak, but still quite nice. Lots of minerals and earth on the nose, true to its varietal. Palate lacked at bit at the finish, but overall smooth and very pleasing.
