  Dinner at Old Holland Rd. Drank in Kvetna glass.
  Surprisingly good and enjoyable.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of chocolate, dark plums, spices, dried dark red cherries, earth and truffle with air.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (15%), smooth resolving high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, dark red cherries, sweet spices, chocolate, sweet plums. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Surprisingly good in a big extracted (but not overly so) way. Oak nicely integrated into chocolate already.

  Popped, decanted, and consumed oer two nights. Good, solid Brunello. Not much exceptional to report. Didn't fade and drank just as well the second night as the first.

  drank from magnum. In a good spot now. Takes an hour to open up and settle in. Not extremely complex but solid wine.

  Mid garnet to the mahogany/bricking rim.
  Savoury bouquets with umami tones, stewed strawberry, Xmas spices and super-ripe fruits. The intensity grows with liquorice, Christmas cake and more as the wine opens. Warming.
  An appealing entry with an array of ripe fruits: raisins, dried fruits & olives and redcurrants, some blackberry compote, and liquorice. Whilst there is fruit sweetness, a reasonable line of fresh acidity keeps the wine upright along with dense, firm tannins.
  However, as it unfolded, the wine felt a little ponderous, quite muscular, and the jam sweetness made it a little cumbersome. The fruit is also a little dried out. Good not great.
