  November 27, 2020 - Long Live Brunello: Rosso di Montalcino Special (Zoom!): In the SW near the river.
  
  Gorgeous, mature, vinous nose. Strawberry compote, plum, lots of leathery savour, really moreish. Beautiful spice. Mouthwatering salinity, a nice dark-fruited chew to the finish. Really juicy. At peak?

  September 4, 2007 - Decanted for about 45 minutes. Took a while longer than that to really open up.
  
  Dark ruby color, some wateryness around the edges.
  Oaky, rather concentrated nose of sweet cherries, blackberry jam and creamy vanilla, with hints of coffee and chocolate.
  Supple in the mouth with sweet berries balanced by healthy acidity, plus some more coffee. Distinct but quite fine-grained tannins.
  Not bad at all for a 2002 Rosso.
  
  Second day update:
  
  This wine improved after a night in the fridge. Picked up more secondary character of dry leaves and tobacco, plus lovely sweet strawberry notes. Some of the edge taken off, but this did not offset the balance.
