September 26, 2010 - Very nice Brunello -- dried cherries and very strong wood taste with a background of vanille trying to get out.

January 13, 2010 - Really good Brunello and perfectly ready to drink!!! Great earthiness to it with a lingering taste of dried fruit and tobacco and chocolate. Had with homemade pasta and noddles -- great combo! Loved it!
