Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red and black fruits, spices, toast. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is velvety. Long finish. Drinking well now and will not improve. Drink up.

Took a long time to open up. This is a great food wine, but I would not really go so far as to say it was a beautiful wine. It did not have the curves and smooth motion to be in that mood. Surprised to see a 20 year old that seemed like it still wasn't fully integrated, even though it seemed to have all the right fix'ins.

A Brunello day (Singapore): Pnp with friends at home after dinner. After all those great Brunellos that day, I thought this was nice but not great. Good balance but the aromatics are gradually fading here, and instead of the bright fruit you are getting some black tea and other mature notes. Drink up.

Great wine at what we thought was the peak of its maturity. The fruits have melded together for a dark rich flavor that still had enough acidic backbone to stand up to the grilled steak we had it with.
