  Colore granato pieno, senza particolari segni di invecchiamento. Aperto circa 1 ora prima di servirlo. Sicuramente troppo poco per un Brunello di poco meno di 30 anni. Inizialmente molto schivo nel bicchiere, con sentori ossidativi. Poi liquirizia, spezie, tabacco e cuoio invecchiato, ed infine prugna, frutti di bosco maturi e amarena. Al palato materico: conserva nerbo e struttura sia tannica che polialcolica. Decisamente lungo. Molto sedimento. Bel Brunello invecchiato bene.

  Still rather young for a sinewy, transparent, high octane Brunello. This is the real deal and not a fruitfu**er :-)
  
  Vinet efter plopp var ett kort och urholkat vin utan stuns någonstans.
  Redan efter ett par timmar sjöng det coloratura på alla längder och tvärsar.
  Det fyllde ut sig hela vägen, från en kraftfull och spännande attack, en mellangom av precision, transparens och atletisk sex. Avslutet börjar med att de tantriska syrorna biter till medan tanninerna drar ihop munnen just en aning. Det är långt och riktigt, riktigt läckert!
  Aromaterapeutiskt finns här en mindre näve körsbär än väntat och frukten domineras istället av mogna röda vinbär. Ekipaget ångar på med höstskog, svart te, läderbutik, en svampkorg på avstånd samt att vi njöt av dess kryddiga nyanser: spiskummin, ingefära och körvel.
  Gott som phan och ett barnarov.

  Wine is a few years past it's prime. Was excellent for the first 30 minutes and then went 1 dimensional and flat.

  4 hour ox, quick decant. Very fresh with acid backbone and good fruit. Vertical and velvety with good length.
  
  Very good older Brunello.

  Wow, this is exactly what aged Brunello should taste like. Rich cherry and savory, sweet spices with just the right amount of texture. Neither too big nor too light. Just perfect for a 1995 that very few people seem to have tried or heard of. It required about 1/2 hour to start to open up, and then we loved it. Drink in the next ~3 years.
