  Similar impression as last time - elegant. Definitely needs time. Ideally in bottle but give it a couple of hours if opening now. Delicious either way

  Still has time to age and after decanting it definitely breathed a new life. The minerality and earthiness showed up with the color moving slightly toward the inkish purple. Dry leaves and black cherry tone with just a hint of tannis
  
  Mushroom, dusty floor, smooth finish, slight bite at the end. Classic brunello, better than a newer vintage, but will be even more delightful in a few years

  Tuscany July 2023; 6/28/2023-7/5/2023 (Tuscany, Italy): Beautiful wine, very expressive and very elegant. Lots of red fruit and lighter in body, more classic in style. Wonderful

  4 hour decant.
  
  Delicious.
  
  Mild and delicate. Not too acidic or grippy. Fruit is there, but is old-world mellow and long.
  
  Drink now with 4-6 hour decant and no regrets…or stay patient.
