Served blind, guessed Brunello Sangiovese due to a sweetish finish, great nose, a bottle that was opened on Tuesday & half bottle kept til today, still very big but finesse, really typical of the 2010 vintage, great fruits, complexity, depth but will benefit from more age, best after 2028

Slight problem with cork, ruby color, soft tannins, seamless and lingering flavors of cherry, oak. Fully opened after about 30 minutes. Perfect with both pasta and duck. One of my favorite brunellos

Wines Before / At / After a Passover Seder (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): Small glass. Sweet black and red cherry, maturing faster than I might expect for wine at this level, with lots of leather and forest floor already through. Lots here to enjoy, with good weight and nuance coming through, but best to enjoy by 2030.

Still very young. Wait 5 years for next bottle to open.

This bottle shows tertiary flavors and is drinking nicely pop and pour. Drink now or hold for more development. 96+ at this point
