  October 28, 2017 - This is remarkably good. The nose is pure heaven, and very fragrant. Super sweet cherries, strawberries, Açaí, cinnamon, nutmeg, dried tarragon, a bit of sea mist and a small finish of olive juice. The palate is fully integrated: extremely fine grained and polished tannins have faded into the background while the acid is mellow but zips. The Alcohol is seamless. It’s the full, professional package. What a gorgeous mouthfeel. Flavors pop with cherries, strawberries, tobacco, thick dusty cocoa, Herbs de Provence, bright orange rind and a wiff of smoke at the end. This has a few more years of good drinking, but why wait?

  September 10, 2017 - Vinetasters- 1997 Brunellos (Holiday Inn, Skokie IL): Nose: There is a richer take to the nose, but still shows a savory side with plums, dark red cherries, raspberries, licorice, leather, anisette, smoke, and some toast tones.
  
  Taste: The feel is Medium/full bodied with tart, medium+ acidity and chewy, medium+ tannins. The structure is a little coarse still with plums, dark red cherries, licorice, anisette, leather, and smoke tones.
  
  Overall: This was my #7 and the group's #7. This felt like it was drinking about as well as it will get. The tannins are still a bit coarse and chewy while the fruit isn't all too expressive.

  July 6, 2017 - I expected this wine to be on the down swing but it has held up very well. Dark fruits, medium tannins, medium finish, we drank over 2-3 hours and it never faded. Structure is still solid and I think will hold for many years to come. Excellent wine to pair with meats.
