  Similar to my bottle in 2014, this tasted all old and flat. Again, I suspect heat damage from a prior owner of the bottle.

  Still a real baby. Young color and closed when opened. Still tonic too. No bricking at all. After an hour in a decanter the tannic edge disappeared and this opened beautifully to a multi dimensional giant. Ethereal nose, soft flavors including chocolate and dark red fruits, layered over at least a minute on the finish. Should be noted that this came from a 1.5 liter - which always seem to age differently than 750’s.

  Wow was this good. Also tight on opening and really there are many years left to this wine. We opened and decanted and as I understand a touch funky on first opening, then closed down for a bit, then about an hour later started to blossom some more. Lots of black fruits, some more spicy-woodsy notes. A wine with a nice structure and elegance to it. Very enjoyable.

  Decanted a few hours. Beutiful bouquet of field flower's licorice earth. This is all about balance. It's perfect everything is in harmony. Elegant an a long long finish. Very polished. A great aged Brunello with gas in the tank.
