Consensus 1st place out of 8 at wine club double-blind high end Brunellos. I'd say it's at peak.

Big bad peppery licorice over sharp red fruit. Massive medicinal herbal alcohol on the nose, but not at all in a bad way.

Buckle your chin strap and get after this one - it's a bull, so grab it by the horns and enjoy the ride

Well drank another one of these, and unlike the previous it was very good. Golden colored but not super oxidized like the last one.

Same case same storage, and it seems like the bottles freely vary from fantastic to sink dumpers. Such is Huet.
