PnP, drank over three days. Best on day three. Earth, leather, dark berries. Way too young, though. Clearly tannic, even on day 3. It is enjoyable to drink now. But it seems much better to wait for at least another three years, if not more. It might deserve a better grade then.

Pnp. This is good. What a wonderful Brunello, just as you expect and want it. No detours, no odd surprises, just a good Brunello. You know: red cherry, medium bodied, earthy notes. The color of th wine is starting to recede from dark red to that aging amber. Good to drink now, but it will still have plenty of years ahead, if you care to wait. It will be hard, though.
Dark, full-bodied. The smell wafts from the bottle upon opening. An oily, rich, intense Shiraz. Earth, dark berries, pepper, orange peel. Enjoyable now, but still young and probably still improving. This will last quite a number of years. 93 or 94? A generous 94.
