  Opened an hour before dinner (prime NY strips grilled over wood charcoal). Great nose and drinking beautifully. The TNs for this over the past two years are quite consistent and right on the mark. The wine is fully mature, very well balanced, no hard edges, just great Brunello. Unfortunately, my last bottle. Thanks again to the somm at Fiola in Miami who recommended this highly two years ago -- I did not know the producer.

  Stellar and back to form, not fading at all. My prior review apparently was a flawed bottle. Such a lovely, well-balanced, and expressive wine

  This wine is ready to drink now. It no longer has any fruit aromas but a wonderful tobacco and chocolate, with a touch of pepper and caramel. Tannins and acid are minimal . Color was brick red. Beautiful mouth feel very smooth.

  First aromas off the top are mushroom, dark cherry, and light leathery notes. A light piney, licorice aroma builds from there. Oak. Purple, light hues of ruby and brick. A very slight haze, looks fully developed and mature. Palate hits leather, dark cherry, licorice...bit muted. Oak repeats on the palate as well but really mellows, with very light charcoal and mineral, hazelnut and white pepper, and blackberry. Acid is...wise. It livens the earthy tones, but the fruit is fading. Tannin is a bit rough, all loaded on the front of the palate. I feel I got this one too late, and I was aware that it may have been. Good wine, though. Seems to have fallen apart a bit, lost some of its fruit and character...This drank like an 87-88 and is probably a 90-91. I split the difference because it is not the wine's fault I drank it too late.
