  Dark red fruit, tobacco and licorice unfurl in the glass to deliver this modern styled brunello. Somewhat on the bold side without going to far. Good juice.

  Brought to a restaurant, shared with friends. Note from memory, no formal note taken.
  
  Opened onsite, slow O'd for 90+ minutes before we got around to this. Consumed over 2 courses and 45 minutes. Black cherry, fresh cut herbs, some dusty road components and add in come violets and potpourri. Nicely integrated at this point.
  
  Last of 3 for me. For those of you still holding some I'd venture to say 5 to 7 years left...easily.

  Drinking in a perfect place right now. Nose still the low point of the wine. Flavor is great. Soft integrated tannins. Fruit starting to just begin to dry. I don’t feel this will go past 2025. Drink up.

  Seems to be in a good spot right now.
  Red fruited, integrated tannins.

  A nice wine but strikes me as lacking seriousness. Very light, to me it's too light for BdM. Drinks great, fun, no hard edges. Not flawed, I just think that's what was done that year. No regrets but I definitely would not seek this out.
