I should have decanted this. It was tight, and Mrs. Redteeth thought a bit sour, initially. It slowly began to open up and the remainder of the bottle was noticeably better on Day 2.

True to expectations for Brunello di Montalcino. Lovely brown tint characteristic of its age. Well balanced and the flavors and structure harms held together well. I would only expect another couple years out of this one before plateauing. Paired well with a steak and pepper mushroom sauce.

This bottle appeared to be oxidized and a bit lifeless

Very one dimensional. Either too young or should have decanted longer.
