  February 5, 2016 - Brunello Night (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Slow-oxed in bottle for 1 hour before drinking.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of classic sour red cherries, leather, earth. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), smooth medium tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of tart sour red cherries (in a good way), tomato, leather, earth. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Classic traditional Brunello showing. Was unfortunately tasted in between 2 good Il Poggiones, so suffered the curse of mediocrity in comparison. Drink and enjoy over next 2-3 years.
  Aged 3 years in traditional Slavonian oak barrels, and 1 year in bottle.
