Was expecting more from this given the age and 2 hr decant, but 2005 was not stat stellar of a year which showed. Still very enjoyable, but make me more excited for 2006 and 2012 vintages.

Ripe and perfumed with plum and mint. A bit hot, but clean and balanced with chewy fruit and scratchy tannins.
I Cinquant'anni del Brunello delle Tenute Silvio Nardi (Hotel Cavalieri Hilton, Rome): Anteprima. Dark garnet (why?). Slightly balsamic, otherwise closed. Nice concentration of flavours (earth and mins), acidic, highish level of grippy tannins. Good length and complexity. Could be great at release... No rating.
(see all 22 vintages)
