Spouse had opened prior to my arrival. Slightly cloudy in the glass. Just a classy Brunello with dark cherry, dusty road, leather, tobacco, and great interplay of acids and tannins (which are nicely integrated). Long finish and so enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Showing signs of age, with some browning. Decadent nose of black fruits, flowers, spices and sandalwood. On the palate, rich and generous, with lovely balanced acidity and soft tannins. Drinking beautifully now.

Sept. 9 League of Gentlemen Tasting chez moi: The wine shows some age in its appearance--browning. Tight and somewhat austere out of the bottle. With an hour or so, it opens up very nicely to show sweet fruit yet with strong acidity and structure, and lots of leathery complexity. Wait three to five years for the acidity to back off a bit.

This wine is now in its prime. Drink it if you got it. A brilliant Brunello.

This wine has never disappointed. I have had bottles over the past few years, and every one has been wonderful. Nice long fruit with a soft finish.
