Lovely Brunello! Very dry at first but after decanting it starts to bloom. Violet and rich licorice pops out with some silky leather in the background and wild strawberry in between.

In its prime. This was excellent, smooth, good dark fruits, balance and a good finish. The best showing yet for following the evolution of this wine over several years.

Wines at Jordan's wedding: Had a very lifted, fragrant nose of red cherries that was quite clearly Italian but I went for 2011 Piedmont instead, oops. Liked the acidity and elegant, refined tannins, think this was better than the higher bottlings from this producer which can be overextracted and oaked.

Took an hour or so to open up. Still a few years left in these. Balanced and complex.

Aging well at peak and I would say drink up in next 3 - 5 years.
Balanced, dark fruits, some balsamic tones and fine aged tannins.
