Community Tasting Note

October 25, 2019 - My first bottle from this vintage. Studied it over 4+ hours of decanting. Overall, fairly unimpressive relative to the price tag of $250. Upon opening, it tasted monolithic and ungiving, as I expected. With air, it improved but not to a point where my tastebuds found this memorable. Plenty of graphite and raw wood, with fairly generous but still moderate acidity. I kept looking for tertiary notes but never found them. The nose was similarly restrained (e.g., I've had much more floral explosion from some of the better Brunellos from 2010, as a reference point). I'll give the rest of my bottles 5+ more years.
