From 375: Against all odds, this wine lives and is still good! If you have it, drink up. Will not improve. Fruit has outlived the tannin, revealing a well balanced wine!

shared with pat at selkirk manor. a pre-christmas treat. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with past due drink by dates. the wine proved to be in sound condition. (from a 375) no formal notes. quintessential brunello.

Leather and spice with some tar and truffle thrown in for good measure. Fruits are ripe with a gentle raisin quality. Savoury elements add complexity and it is a big wine but harmonious. There's still some chew from the tannins and length is good.

An interesting wine that came off past peak though still very drinkable. It featured a drying nuttiness similar to dry Sherry or dry Madeira. Drink now.
