Gorgeous Brunello showing delightful mature notes. At age 18 this wine has developed a silky palate and shows all elements in harmonious balance. Ample fruit still - with a hint of aged sweetness. Bit of mocha in there. Tannins and acid are still present, but well merged into the wine. Downright enjoyable with a pasta dish and a cheese course afterwards. This was my first of 6 bottles...no hurry on these, but it offers so much now that I think I'll drink these over the next few years.

Drank over four hours. Powerful cherry nose, biting acidity and strong tannins at first. Tannins subsided after around 2 hours, and ripe red fruit with soft rounded finish emerged. Delicious.

Boerne wine club Brunello tasting Feb 2015: Dark Scarlet colored. Rich sweet cherry fruit, beautiful balance. A lovely wine.
