  December 16, 2023 - Prior bottle was a bit over 13 months ago and the wine has evolved more positively than I expected over that time. Still has that pretty bing cherry note on the nose as well as more earthy red cherry and light spices. Between medium and full bodied and took almost 4 hours to fully open up and come together. Red cherry and some black cherry upfront which are more open and expressive than previously. Builds positive tension through the middle as it adds depth to go with the darker red cherry. The mid-body also seemed more harmonious with the fruit slightly better defined and the tannins and acidity on the backside in better balance. Transition was much improved with no rough spots or dry notes this time; not seamless but much improved. Mineral, spices and earth notes through the finish. I expected it to evolve along these lines, but not to improve quite this much, so it earned the additional point. Drinking well now if decanted for open for at least 3+ hours and warmed from cellar temperature (on the cooler side, didn't show nearly as well). I'll plan to open my next bottle no sooner than Fall 2024, but may hold it longer.

  March 18, 2023 - These aged brunellos are difficult to gauge how much air to provide. Opened the bottle from the cellar around 530pm and started to drink at 630pm after a decant. Realized that it needed a lot more decant time. As it barely started to open up and show its characters at 830pm.
  
  Soft leather, blue and red fruit mix (blue berry, cherry), soft tannins, nice medium minus acidity, low sugar. Showed some early stages of tertiary flavors.
  
  Can leave it for another 3+ years.

  November 4, 2022 - Poured into decanter and drank over 2h. For once I do not agree with fellow BdM lover RGCM Gananda below, even if we seem to be drinking many of the same Brunellos.
  I have really enjoyed Nardi's very classic 2006 BdM, and found the 2010 superb on arrival (rated 94), however this 4th bottle from the same 2010 case, confirms a gentle downwards trajectory ever since.
  Best upon opening in my eyes, when the wine is still showing the red fruit and the delineation of a traditional Sangiovese I so much admired "en arrivage". With time in decanter, the wines softens considerably and the darker fruit becomes more prominent. With that the wine turns pretty mellow and loses this very delineation and typicity.
  A solid Sangiovese but nothing special. This will mellow further with more bottle age but not improve for my taste. 92 upon opening then going towards 90 - 91. If you put ease of drinking and smoothness over delineation then you can still wait on this BdM, but I will be drinking my last two bottles soon.
