Very concentrated, shockingly so for a Brunello. Notes of tobacco, spice, leather and raspberry. Medium finish, still will strong tannins. Need to wait a few years for the remaining two bottles.

Cherry nose with some hints of mushrooms and meat? Slightly chewy palate, some cedar, a little dry (after 3hrs). Was brighter on pouring so maybe at its peak?

near the end of it's "drink-by" dates, however, it is a wonderful bottle of Brunello.
