  Reddish orange/brown in color. Aromas of dried red cherries, asian spices, hint of tobacco, cooked mushrooms and earth. Ripe, sweet and savory stewed red berries make an impression on the palate that shows decent acidity, no tannins and a decent spicy and earthy finish.

  Maxflight of Brunellos (Wilmot Wine Emporium): Part of a Brunello Tasting with three Talenti vintages as the feature event. This wine was ready to please. Warm bouquet of stewed cherry and plum and tobacco pouch and leather. A bit of a funkiness on the nose but that's possibly just a little stale reduction. Straightforward, dark red fruit with chocolate, licorice and black olive. Fine tannins and good balance. This is meant to be drunk now. Started to acquire a bitter note within an hour of the tasting. Pair with grilled red meats. Drink up!

  Root day - direct from the cellar so cool and pop and pour. Translucent garnet/orange in the glass (Pinot Noir glass which I prefer for older Sangiovese based wines). Nose of dried red flowers, savoury red fruit, even a touch of tar (which I didn’t expect). On the palate it shows the dryness and red fruit I expected along with a smokiness and earthiness I didn’t. A bit of a drying finish but that may be because it’s still cool. Will update when it warms to cool room temp and has some air.
  
  Leaf day - well… it took 4 days but now this wine is shining! Showing definite potential for more development. Now showing beautiful red fruit, red florals, cinnamon sticks, dried leaves, and something ethereal that I can’t quite define but is in every quality Brunello I’ve had (some tar/licorice mixed with beeswax is the closest I can describe it). Palate is similar to the nose with the fruit being more dried than fresh and the spice showing in the long finish along with the floral element.
  Not rated first day but a 91 tonight.

  Three years after my previous bottle, this is showing on its very last leg now. Clear bricking in the glass, an oxidative whiff on the nose upon Pnp, soft and round on the palate with savory medicinal notes but otherwise aromatically fairly bland. Past peak. Glad this was my last bottle, difficult vintage particularly for producers in the Southern cluster like Talenti. Drink up.
