Pretty hazy with sediment but none the worse for it. Still vibrant fruit, savoury, silky smooth - impressive! This was only their 3rd vintage of Brunello and FIRST ever Riserva... becoming Phenomena from 1999 vintage.

ruby garnet, lovely and bright. all savoury on the nose. Sweet tarry fruit, superb intensity, yet extreme elegance and softness. very long, still with good grip and acidity. nice to think there are still 5 bottles remaining

Against 2011 Bartolo & 2004 Sass, this had lovely earthy and savoury character. Still youthful, charming and vibrant. Really good, and probably WOTN

Very savoury, lacking generosity. at the end of its days.

At Peat Spade with AW & Justin Gaze: Savoury, rich, soft and oppulent. Long on the finish, plenty of life in this brew. Delicious
