Needs a bit of air. Very aged notes of leather and musty oak. Got a bit of blood orange too. This is good, but not memorable whatsoever. The fruits just couldn't balance out the secondary notes.

Stewed fruits, blackberries, clove. I let this breath for about 30 minutes and still showed signs of life ahead. Very nice wine at 12 yrs aged (properly). Still has decent tannins, so has a few more years left to evolve. Very delicious wine!

An excellent example of BdM. Ample fruit with balancing acidity. No hurry with this but drinking well now. Excellent QPR.

No formal notes; this was an outstanding Brunello that paired beautifully with grilled rib-eyes.
