I've had 2 bottles in the last year, and its only ok. I'm disappointed with this Frescobaldi Brunello right now. its very possible its closed right now. It never tasted as it should.

This is still drinking wonderfully. Gave it an hour decant. Its dry for a brunello, which impacts the expected smooth taste. But there is nice lingering cedar and cherry aromas. But lacks complexity.

Quite disappointed with this. It may have been off. Very acidic. There was some leather that I normally find with Brunello but the acidity was pronounced and not in any good way.

Slow OC for 2 hours and drank over 2 days. Definitely in its drinking window. Dry and tannins well integrated. Very enjoyable although not overly complex.
