  Not showing especially well, and a pain in the neck to drink. Opened on Saturday night, and it was incredibly tight. Recorked the bottle, and saved until tonight. Uncorked at 1 pm today and poured into a decanter at 4 pm. Drank at 9 pm, and it was still tight! Not showing well. Very disappointing for the price.
  
  Excellent length, with bright raspberry, cherry, tobacco and leather.

  Many at the table drank this blind. Not very Brunello like but oh so good. Lots of Pomerol calls - while I think this makes sense given the flavors it has a core that hints to Brunello. Really good right now.

  Wine Spectator newbies; 10/18/2018-10/20/2018 (Marriott Marquis): Finally - in a vertical that had '04, '97, '90 this was the first wine that I felt like was truly in drinking window. The different pieces are well integrated. There's some secondary flavors coming through (leather and a bit more earthiness) in addition to the red fruits and hint of tomato. Makes for a much more interesting wine. My favorite of the group.

  It was hard to open, waiting 20 hrs then finally came!
  Uncorked 8 hrs and still lacking nose...cork back then uncork again after 10 hrs
  Further 2 hrs of uncorking can really reveal its beauty!
  Nose with forests ,mint, gamy nose.
  Palate was full, creamy , dark fruit, forest , tea, just a bit high in acidity in the finishing made me wonder if it was vintage conditions.
