From magnum. This was great. Textbook classic Brunello. Sour cherries, earthiness, elegance in spades. The tannins have gotten round leaving a smooth mouthfeel. Great time to open these if you have any.

Might be in a dull/sleepy phase but not over the hill. Not as giving as a bottle I opened back in 2019. Still bright and juicy for a 12 yr old wine. Nose has faint violets, dried cherries. My last bottle but if you have some, wait another 2 yrs.

Dark, concentrated and with precise balance. Dark fruit and excellent length. No rush...

An off bottle. Reductive upon opening. Decanted several hours, and it got better. But the reductive aromas didn’t go away.

Rusty and oaky, drying tannin, almost astringent.
