Cork split in half, but was able to save it with a Durand. Double decanted for sediment, with perhaps 45 minutes of slow O in the bottle. Upon opening this showed riper black fruits and bramble, with a hint of pruniness on the finish. But with air it evolved to show savory red and black fruits with hints of dried herbs, and the pruniness I noted initially completely disappeared. I really enjoyed this bottle. 92-93 range.

Has lost most of its life. Seems to be OTH in my opinion.

Very mature but fading. Has some fruit left but it is turning flabby. Drink up and lower your expectations.

Still drinking quite nicely, tannins have mellowed, time to finish up.

Excellent Leonetti that still had a bit of a tannic finish. Should be drank in the near term but could evolve over the next couple of years.
