It is clearly - at least this bottle - beginning to show its age. Mature notes of plum, cherries, spices and tobacco. It still has enough fruit to balance its tannins but not for a long time further in my view.

3/6, cork 80% soaked, decanted 1/2 hr. Medium/deep garnet core, pale garnet rim. Gently spicy, aromatic nose, sour red cherry, spice, florals. Medium bodied, composed and harmonious with red cherry fruit, a touch of savour, vibrant acidity, fine, pretty much resolved tannin, good length spicy finish. Excellent, in the classic mould and now drinking well.

Cork wet almost to the end. Time to drink.

Friday the 13 (Big Wine Freaks Moscow): 92/100
Not a bad Brunello, but it’s not yet ready. Juicy cherry and red berries, plump, but with quite cheeky tannin.
Good, but far from real greatness.
