8-hour slow-ox; caramelized sous bois with subtle tobacco, molasses and salt air aromatics. Harmonious and balanced plum, cherry, red raspberry palate with a touch more tobacco and a cumin note. Finishes ultra-long with dry underlying tannins and the most interesting watermelon memory at the very last moment. This was a great bottle - an interesting melange of barnyard, fruit and spice.

Similar to the bottle I had back in January. I opened and slow ox'd for two hours and then poured through a vintorio. Red fruit on the nose. The palate is dark cherry, tobacco and hints of licorice. The finish is moderate to long. A very enjoyable bottle of wine.

Quite aged, over the hill, no fruit left, just tertiary flavors/aromas.

This is really nicel brunello - dark cherry on the nose. The palate is dark cherry, tobacco and licorice. The finish is long.
