  Bad. Probably a storage issue. color is cola brown. pungent raisin smell and taste. undrinkable and poured down the sink. 1 of 2 from an auction purchase. The second bottle was fine (thankfully!). Brad - heavypourwine.com

  My last bottle of a case I bought on release.
  
  Very, very nice. Earthy red & black fruit on the nose, good acidity and decent persistence. Hard to argue with this.

  Ripe & savory red & black fruit on the palate. Maybe a little less acidity than I normally prefer, but paired with some leftover chicken marsala on a Tuesday night, this will fill the bill.

  Just had a glass of the ‘99 Ciacci Pianrosso, and this is right there with that bottle in terms of drinking pleasure. Another Brunello in the zone today.
  
  Eric Guido just did a 20 year tasting of the 2001 vintage in Brunello, and while I like those wines, I’m still not convinced that vintage is any better than ‘99.
