  A nice and solid qpr BDM, the 17 worked better than the 16 for pop and pour (16 Normale needed 2hrs and was best on Day 2). The 17 is accessible and evolves in complexity over a short time, a very nice ready to go everyday bdm.

  Leather, tarragon, pink roses and bing cherry on the nose. Tight tannins with bright red fruit on the palette.
  
  Very enjoyable. Definitely needs a 2-3 hour slow ox to shine.

  Pale ruby in colour.
  Medium plus intensity on the nose. Quite a bit of herbal notes, sage, cloves, dry orange peel, leather, fresh red roses, truffle, sarsi, red date. Very pretty on the nose.
  On the palate, the acidity is high with high tannins of fine grain texture. Medium plus alcohol, medium plus body. The acidity and flavours are quite expressive, herbs, spices and leather, but the flavors are not yet fully developed. Well balanced and elegant as a BDM, certainly traditional style. A little dry around the mouth but pleasant to me. Love it!

  This is wonderful, tradtitional Brunello di Monalcino. Aromatic from the first pour, cherries, leather and sundried herbs rising from the glass. On the palate more herbs, roses, leather, cherries, bitter almond and minerality. There is good freshness and nicely melted tannins, the only sign of a warm vintage because there is otherwise no sense of an extremely dry and warm year. Complimenti!
  
  I think this drinks so well that the 2022-2027 drinking window added by one user seems reasonable, although I'm sure that it is not like this wine dies beyond that...

  醒酒四个半小时，淡宝石色，闻香有草本，草药，红果，吐司的香气，草本味明显。入口酸度高，呈线性，酒液咸，收口微甜，单宁紧致，细沙颗粒，红果和草本香气为主，后段有些面包吐司的味道，香气集中，中等酒体，坚挺的酸度令人印象深刻，标准的新年份BDM的特征，新鲜，活泼，棱角分明，在香气复杂度上还需要更多年份的发展，现在并不是太好的适饮期。
