  Super Brunello, a little more creosote than last time so although still vibrant maybe it’s time.

  Soft tannins and black cherry fruit. Probably slightly past peak but still very pleasurable.

  Exceptionally delicious Brunello. Alive with the mushroom and dank qualities of a well aged, well constructed wine.
  
  It was stunning with the ribeyes. An absolutely stunning pairing with perfectly integrated tannins, earthy layers, and Herbal qualities that served up a symphony of flavors.

  Friday Tasting Group: My 1st "Killer Bar" (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 5,000 cases made
  
  N: Slight earthiness, then vanilla, with cherries underneath?
  
  P: LM body; LOVELY, almost swtish frt BEAUTIFULLY counterbalanced by an acidity which seamlessly transitions into a LONG, balanced finish with a tangy/swtness to the very, VERY fine tannins. For now & probably making its 30th. 13.5% ABV; My EXC+/Exceptional-. 96 pts WS (Suckling), 93 WA, & 14/20 Vinum. [*Thank* you for this selection, José!]
  
  Interestingly, most of the comments I heard felt this was a Burgundy.
