Pleasing and subdued this mature Brunello came through with cherry and red fruits with fully relaxed tannins and a medium length finish of cedar. Not big, but paired great with out parmesan encrusted cod and saffron risotto. past peak

similar to past notes. Need about 30 minutes to come alive, but doesn't need the typical or benifit from the typical multi hour decant of most Brunello's

Great representation of a mid range Brunello. Fully mature now and slightly improved from my 2015 pouring. While it drank well over the 4 hrs we had it decanted, it was probably best by the 1st hour. Because of this I would say it's probably hitting it's peak now.

Took an hour or so to soften up. Still has a tannic and acidic backbone. Sour cherry flavors but As noted elsewhere, a little hollow in the mid palate. Smoothed out in hour two. Enjoyable but not great.

This has it all - fruit, structure, finish. But it is ready and only needs a little time to open.
