Underripe raspberry, some tobacco leaf. Blackberry, some raspberry and cherry. Forest floor leaves with a slight tobacco hint. Nice acidic vibrancy.
Tasted blind: I, along with most of the table, honestly thought this was Burgundy/Pinot Noir so I'm mindblown at the reveal! Thankfully the MW at the table didn't think this was unreasonable having thought the same... Identifiers are the slight grittiness of the tannins.

WOTN for me, after 5 hours decant this was incredibly smooth and polished. Far better than either the Vinous/WS reviews, this had an expressive floral nose with cherry and spice flavors.

Could not wait any longer so valentine's day was a good opportunity. Great Brunello; old rustic style with alot going on... Tertiair notes intertwined with subtle cherries notes. Also great complexity and intensity on the nose. Sous-bois, spices,. Silky texture. Not so hedonistic as the Gianfranco Soldera's I tasted.
QPR could be better

Not going to rate as this bottle was way over the hill. I suspect some kind of heat damage, as this wine should live to this age pretty easily.
