The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, plum, leather, mushroom and red currant. It tastes like red currant and oak. The body is medium. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

quite bloody colour for an old brunello. nose of rosemary, citrus fruits, tobacco. Great nose but feels far away from mature in my opinion. Still some wild tanins but way to high level of acidity for its age. Hope this wine gets rid of it in the next year to reach more harmony - but not sure...

Wonderful aroma of dried leaves, first floor, leather and spices. Beat the 70 haut Brion of the same night. Classic delicious aged brunello but could use more development thru the night

Nice cherry, nice spice, nice balsamic, pretty well knit. Nice lingering finish ~ 30 seconds. Decanter an hour before b/c of sediment. Double decanting might have been better. More secondary than fruit in finish. Nice acidity. Probably peak or slight downward. Still really enjoyable.
