Not nearly as good as the first of the two bottles that I just acquired. Felt this one showed past peak performance which masked just enough of the fruit to keep it out of the 90s. Suggest drinking up.

Not decanted. This is my last bottle and is a good deal better than the bottle from two months ago; this bottle had an excellent cork seal. Traditional Sangiovese, cool and pure plum, delicate wild berry, slightly tangy, with rust, tar, roses, wood spice, and leather character in the background. Fully mature and drinking nicely. Drink now.

Decanted 4 hours. Traditional, old world style Brunello, tons of wood spice, plum, dry black fruit extract. Medium body, plenty of acidity, but drink now.

A green note. Kinda a sharp edge to the nose but not the palate.

Violets violets and violets. Followed by classic brunello dry fruit. Loved it.
