  Medium brownish garnet color. Slightly bricking.
  
  Scents of pine wax, dried thyme, olive, forest floor, spices and leather. Red cherry and red currant fruit is vibrant with very good acidity. Meaty midpalate savoriness. A little of cherry-pit bitterness toward an earthy savory finish.
  
  Medium body, medium plus acidity. Compared with other 2010 Brunello's, this wine's tannin feels more integrated.
  
  Compared typical 'big, ripe and tannic' 2010 Brunello's, this may feel a bit lighter. Though, the overall balance is simply excellent. It shows a more classical style and structure. Drinking well now.

  24 hours in the fridge under vacuum, then open about an hour. A little bricking, looks its age. Faded sweet red fruit and a little wood on the nose. Very nice. Delicious fruit, some wood, warm. Minimal astringency. In a great place. I would not hold much longer.

  Much improved since prior botyle. Deep purple hue carrying unctuous ripe cherry and fleshy blueberry and orange notes. Compkexity that swims about entertaining you as it fills your mouth.

  Even better than 5 years ago. Beautifully put together now with some chocolate and coffee notes. Only one left. Wish it were more.

  Ready. Shows well but nothing outstanding-smooth Brunelleschi, with strong start and long finish.
