deep red color wine with nice notes of cherry and raspberry with smooth finish with subtle acidic notes and some tannin notes. Log finale with plenty of complexity while retaining some good drinkability level.

Another great bottle. We had this bottle together with a '08 BdM of the same producer. The '05 definitely deserves a notch up because of its higher complexity and refinement.

Still in excellent shape. A wonderfully refined and complex Brunello. As mentioned in my previous notes: not a big and dense wine, but very classy Brunello di Montalcino.
Drink now - 2018

Pnp'ed. Paired with two different pasta dishes. This was drinking very nicely and only ended up opening up more in the glass. Had fruit but with a bit more austere taste to it - more like slightly not quite ripe I guess. Great woodsiness. It went well with both a bolognese and an alfredo sauce. Unfortunate that it's our last bottle.
