Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Intense, refined and elegant sour cherry fruit, going towards cranberries. The complexity is stunning showing black tea, rose hip and vermouth-style spice includes and lovely bitterness in the aftertaste! There is so much purity and elegance and combined with the flavor depth, this is an absolutely perfect wine!

Pre-Paulee Warm-up Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): 99/04 paired. I was not thrilled with either, but I preferred this 2004. Also slightly dirty, but lots of red cherry and berry front-and-center, maturing gracefully. Long-ish, persistent finish.

Pre La Paulée Dinner with friends (Home): 99/04 side-by-side. This was a bit cloudy in appearance relative to the 1999 and while excellent on its own was just a bit clumsy and lacking refinement of the 04. Should continue to age well and improve.

Powerful, silky and ethereal cherry and plum fruit. Loads of floral, toasted herb and spice complexity. Long, refined finish. Grand Cru in every way. At peak and should hold for decades.

Extraordinary, the best Soldera I ever had. So fresh, could wait 20 more years
