June 16, 2023 - Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Cooked fruit flavors but not in a defective way. There is also a bit of manure and the tannins are slightly rough.
The wine seems flabby, old and unstructured. In general, it is just boring and uninteresting.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 31, 2022 - Maturing but still fresh with classic Sangiovese notes.

November 3, 2021 - 9/12, excellent cork. Decanted 1/2 hour.
Deep garnet/mahogany core, pale mahogany rim. Quite aged appearance and a developed if quite complex nose too with smoky, grilled meat, liquorice, balsamic notes, spice. The full-bodied palate does show a touch more, bright red cherry fruit, along with the smoke, meat and liquorice notes, the tannins are now quite soft and the vibrant acidity carries a good length spicy finish. Certainly mature but still hanging in there.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 27, 2021 - Mature and quickly declining. Has some fruit and aged flavors but overall, it is underwhelming.

August 28, 2021 - Delicious. Much better than the last bottle. 2 hour decant at cellar temp. Drinking now but I will try to hold the last 6 for another 5-10 years.
