  Corked. Was very slight. One of those bottles where you taste it on one sip and the next you don’t.

  Decanted and drank. Aromas of balsamic, umami, dried raspberry and a bit of funk. Flavors of raspberry, balsamic, iron, earth and dried cherry. Ends with a 35-40 second finish with dried cherry and balsamic notes. Probably needed more air and the nose got a little more funk than I like but this was top notch.

  Coravined this. This is probably the oldest brunello I've had so far. It's held up decently, purchased earlier this year from WHWC (cellar acquisition) so unsure of provenance. On the nose, some sweet cherry, light tertiary notes of leather/cedar as well, with some air, the fruit comes forward some more. On the palate, acidity is definitely there (med+), tannins are sort of there (med), a bit chalky there so the finish isn't super smooth but it is decently long. Also a bit vegetal flavors as well. Had on its own but would prefer with some carbs (pizza or pasta).
