Wow! After a two-hour decant this wine turned from murky to marvelous! Soft & elegant - harsh tannins have totally left the room - a true queen and a pleasure to drink.

Brunello di Montalcino: Caldo evoluto, mela cotta, prugna cotta, alcool medicinale, note eteree da cognac, terra scura. Tannino da vendere palleggia con un'acidità forte ma povera di frutto. Potente ma poco espressivo si gioca tutto sulla mineralità. Elegante. Viene da argille mioceniche.

This wine took about a 1/2 hour to reveal any nose at all, but then it really opened up. The color was light red -- no sign of bricking. Earlier reveiwer had traces of rose petals on the nose and that was definitely there. Spice and red fruits also evident. The palette had bright cherry and strawberry prevalent. A very juicy wine. Had it with pork tenderloin and fresh fennal roasted in the oven for about 15 minutes. Delicious! Didn't pickup any tannins on the finish. Although all this is drinking great right now, I think this wine has several years left. Unfortunately, this was my last bottle.
