  Drank this alongside the 1995 Uccelliera BdM. This was the winner of the two. It was a more complex wine while Uccelliera seemed to be a ways past it's peak. Albeit this one isn't getting any better and i would pop soon if you're sitting on any.
  
  Paired well with lamb sugo.

  Outstanding. Aged beautifully. Nose of cherry liquer, leather and some smoke. Just a classic aged Brunello.

  Mmm, time has served this wine very well! Super classic notes of black tea and balsa. The palate is fully resolved, fresh, yet also dry and smoky, maybe a little roasted coffee, classically Brunello. Fresh cherries dance with leather and earth. Vibrant, long, mouthwatering, still a little firm yet really ready to enjoy. Wonderful!

  Auction purchase. Cork barely bled through.
  A bit of funk and alcohol on the PnP. That fades to some pretty vibrant red fruit, then the wine goes flabby at 2+ hours.In my experience, the 1997s are winding down
