  October 23, 2016 - No decanting
  Colour:dark red with orangey at edge. Looks a bit past its prime
  Nose:red ripe fruit. A bit jammy. Ripe strawberries
  Taste: Very tasty and fresh, silky tannins, good long finish. Not jammy at all but a lot of good fruit coming through.
  
  Very nice bootle that has aged really well.

  July 18, 2015 - Tough to rate as it was part of an 8 varietal blind tasting. Upon opening, it carried some off flavor nose. A couple of hours of decanting cleaned this up. The nose seemed almost too tame at that point, and it did not show the stuffing I expect of '04 Brunello's. Maybe it was in a "dumb" phase, but maybe it was a little past its prime. I am beginning to wonder if Sangiovese falls from grace a little faster than others once it has peaked.

  June 11, 2014 - Delicious, mature BdM. Black cherry, licorice, balance and a layered finish. Better on day 2.
