Decanted and brought to cool room temperature, personally cellared since 2008, last bottle of four. Very nice BM with lots of mature tart red fruit, nice old world earthy minerals, very long smooth finish, certainly on the backside of its plateau but well cellared bottles should last for several more years.

Decanted 1hr, no sediment, tart red cherry, plum, raspberry, earthy, spicy finish. This bottle was perhaps a bit tired, paired with goat cheese ravioli, with shaved white truffles, which may have over powered such a delicate age brunello.

Had bought this bottle three years ago in an enoteca in San Gimignano. Probably a year past its prime but still very solid.

This is in a much better place than it was 3 years ago. Opened 4 hrs before I drank it. Fruit is ripe but not overly ripe. Excellent finish.

Delicious. Had at North. Must decant 1 hour. Leather and strawberry notes for me.
