  April 10, 2023 - Exactly what DAWGBYTE says below......very similar bottle with the exception that I decanted it for 90 min and I think it was best then and for another 90 minutes. The nose was quite fragrant, floral and cherry The palate was full of cherry, was very balanced and the mouthfeel was so smooth and crushed velour like. Later in the evening this seemed to fall off a bit and I probably would have given it an 89 then.....in the early going this one drank younger than a '12 to me. Minimal bricking just starting to show up.

  April 10, 2023 - I decanted the wine for 2 hours prior to serving. This Brunello had a nice core of cherry, sandalwood and a hint of herbs. The nose seemed to outshine the palate, which leads me to believe this wine is still on the young side. On the palate it was pretty much a one hit wonder with beautiful cherries, red fruit with some herbaceous notes at mid-palate. Medium acidity and fine tannins. The finish didn't last very long.
  
  This wine was enjoyable, but I was expecting more.

  April 1, 2023 - Finally reached its performance window. Elegant wine like a great Brunello. Nose and palate evenly beautiful. Just the finish is too short to score even better. Reminds more of a Bordeaux than an Italian.

  February 4, 2023 - Decanted and no wait. Soft cherry and a touch of spice. Modest tannins, lean texture and less aromatic than our last bottle. Not sure I see a reason to wait on this one. Tasty now and do not sense significant upside.
