May 10, 2024 - Very good, but starting to age.
April 12, 2024 - Decanted 2 hours. This wine continues to drink very well with notes similar to my last tasting in 2015: vibrant dark fruit, cassis, damp earth with hint of spice and cedar. Tannins are silky and well integrated with long finish. Paired with venison osso buco over linguine.
January 14, 2024 - Dark fruit, earth, oak, savory smoked meat, spices. Silky smooth and delicious
December 23, 2023 - Jakob vin som han fikk på 18 årsdagen. Ble drukket juleaften 2023.
December 23, 2023 - Just lovely, perfectly mature, super intense and aromatic with beautiful ripe dark cherry and a lot of tertiary notes including truffle and balsamic. Very long.
December 12, 2023 - Fragile, fading. Might be an off bottle.
December 3, 2023 - Wonderful aroma. Deep ruby color. Aged perfectly.
September 21, 2023 - Deep brick red on opening. After 2 hour decant, dark, opaque , and viscous. Earthy, herbaceous, subdued dark fruits, almost like unsweetened preserves. Paired beautifully with Australian Wagyu ribeye steaks and panzanella salad, but amazing with gnocchi in gorgonzola cream sauce. Evolved over a couple of hours. Simply a joy to savior this wine!
August 3, 2023 - Possibly a bit past apex but still amazing. Notes of cedar, smoke, dried red fruit. Explosive flavor, incredibly long finish. Amazing with pasta
June 16, 2023 - Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Muted fruit and overall, it is very closed. A huge surprise when this was revealed as this normally is very exciting.
The fruit is "clean" and dark but it doesn't really provide any other impressions. Disappointing and I really hope that the bottle was off or that it is in a weird phase.
