  Needed some time to breath but opened up with a lot of interesting aromas but the notes of iron were a little bit overpowering. Relatively little body, well-integrated tannins and still fresh in terms of acidity. I would say it's past its peak by 5-10 years but still very nice to drink, albeit a bit unbalanced.

  This was totally marvellous! Excellent cork, fill level into the neck. Decanted 30 min. Soft and developed with dark fruit marmalade, violets, cigar leaf, soft leather and chocolate. Tannins fully mellowed. Medium concentration, not too heavy. Very elegant Brunello that peaks right now and still has few more years ahead.

  Slightly corked? smell when open. Dark fruit (cherry, blueberry), spice, earth, leather, tobacco, good acidity. Not sure if this is slightly corked.

  Not much to add to my earlier notes. Still drinking well with no signs of oxidization. I like the clear delineation on the palate here which is not something often found in older Brunello vintages. At the same time this is not the most expressive Brunello I have had. Still very pleasant though

  Opened after the 01 Castelgiocondo Riserva and while this was an elegant a classic Brunello it lacked a bit concentration on the palate in comparison. Still nice nevertheless and not tired or oxidized.
