  A touch short on the nose but it has come together nicely. Cherry, leather and a strawberry mineral finish. Drinking nicely.

  Decanted for 1 hour. Color was brick red with orange edge. Strange nose of sour wet earth. Not pleasent, but it quickly disappeared. Nice palate with dark fruit. Cherries and spice. Nice finish.

  relatively consistent with my note from 2/2011. Decanted 30 minutes before enjoying with pizza. Menthol, tobacco, sour cherry, cherry on nose. On palate, dried cherry, fig, tobacco, dirt on medium body with medium+ acids. Excellent with pizza. Needed 1+ hours of air to shine. 92+ [edit] Still going strong 3 nights later - nice old school Brunello - sour cherry / tobacco / dirt / earthiness more evident on night 3.

  Elegant full bodied wine enjoyed with Osso Bucco. Medium finish, dark berry and pepper flavours. This wine may need to be decanted for >1hr to increase the balance and overall rating.

  Did not enjoy this bottle as much as my last bottle t/n from 2/2011 - ironically, my wife enjoyed this more than although it was reversed on the last tasting. Didn't take good notes and enjoyed with lamb. Only decanted for 1.5 hours so that could have been the problem - didn't taste as balanced (and enjoyable) as prior tasting with a medium length finish. 89-90 this tasting.
