Opened for about 5 hours and tasted every hour. At first nose was tight with some hint of oak, on the palate it was unbalanced acidity was predominant. Second hour wine was getting more balanced, third hour a little bit of tobacco came present but it faded very quickly, by hour number five wine was showing the cherry characteristics of brunello with other dark berries, tannins were very thin almost no present. I enjoyed the bottle, more because of the sentimental attachment, I bought it five years ago at the vineyard, I am glad I did wait much longer as is fading. Wine was "jumping" at some sip we agreed it felt like 91

One of three bottles. Very soft and light tannin's but still good. Hoping over time will become more complex but not sure the tannin's are there.
