Nose: Muted funky floral. Taste: After 5 hour decant, a carapace of fruit with a bitter finish. Greatly improved on the 2nd day with far better integration. Needs time???

Well...this bottle reached the 10 year mark. I'll hold my last bottle another 5 years. The wine has complexity on the nose and on the palette. Brunello is a beautiful expression of the Sangiovese grape. Too bad the FRN$ has taken such a beating. The price on this bottle has now doubled. That's a shame.

plenty of fruit, though this bottle had as much prune as plum; nice acidity; the tannins have softened and this is smoother; this worked with a pork dish with dried fruit
