  14%. Slight bricking at the edges, but still nice limpid red core. Fragrant red cherry fruit with a hint of toast. Nicely tart, tannins silky and fully integrated. Long finish. Peak drinking.

  A bit of brick on the rim but still a vibrant color although pale. Fantastic nose. Very ripe black fruit, verging on overripe but not quite there yet. On the palate, sweet, ripe plums, black cherry, and blueberry, truffle, rich mouthfeel. Grainy tannins at first but faded quickly in the glass. Just the slightest hint of oxidation. Perhaps just a bit past peak and should be drunk now but certainly very enjoyable at this stage.

  See previous note. Definitely showing its age. Was last bottle.

  Decanted for 1 hour, but drank over 3. Color is showing signs of proper aging. Dried fruit and leather on nose. Med-full bodied, smooth and silky, tannins mellow. Cherry fruit followed by dry earthy tannings. Really long enjoyable finish. We had the last glass after a walk and by then it was really hitting its stride. Beautiful brunello and drinking really well. Wish I had more of these.
