  Drank over three days. Medium garnet fading to a pale garnet outer edge. Beautifully evolved with ultra-ripe red berries, cassis soaked black cherries, red plum skin, blackberry, damson, floral scents of dried roses and violets, damp, decayed autumnal forest floor, crushed pine needle, aged balsamic and sweet baking spices. A beautifully made wine that’s as deep in concentration as it is harmonious and long.

  Nose: The nose is nuanced and perfumed with a delicious savory quality backed up with licorice, red cherries, raspberries, rose petals, leather, and a touch of pipe tobacco. There is excellent depth and style to this with the tones wafting out of the glass.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and medium/high tannins. The tannins are silky, yet youthful with a silky feel along with red cherries, raspberries, licorice, pipe tobacco, and rose petals.
  
  Overall: This is drinking right in its spot. It took about two hours to open up, and when it did it was a beautiful Brunello. Yes, this can age longer, but it is a real joy right now.

  I would give this more time, but drinking well now with food. A modernish style but still sufficient typicity.

  In a superb place. Didn't need much decant, and I doubt it will develop much more as the tannins were barely noticeable, however beautifully balanced and rich.
