Decanted from bottle for 100 mins: Color is purple orange and crystal clear. The wine opens up beautifully with a pleasant nose of red fruits, red cherries, raspberries and strawberries. Peppery and a little spicy, fresh herbs and mineral. The entry was smooth, elegancy and silky. Mid palate is medium body, character echo the nose, with faint capsicon and zucchini. Tannins is elegance and still firm, with balanced acidity. Finishing is quite lengthy and stays in the throat for a minute or longer. An old style Brunello that's ready to drink now and the next 5 to 7 years. 91 pts

Drinking well right now. Decanted approximately 2 hours. Smooth tannins with a slight grip finish. Fig, anise, some berries. Will not wait too much longer for last bottle.

Big flavor. We let t decant for probably an hour. Next time I will do two. True Brunello flavor. Will wait another year or two before I open the next one.

sweet, jammy, concentrated and well balanced. just less to say alongside the giants of the same evening. A little closed and definitely has more time ahead of itself.

Some bricking going on. Inching past its prime, but still nice. Drink up quickly if still holding.
