  So, so much oak. Overwhelming. That, combined with a monochromatic ripeness leaves this unidentifiable as Brunello. These are the wages of international-style, Parkerized shenanigans.

  Wow. Highly recommended! Paired well with baked ziti (with spicy sausage).

  Deep, structured, long. Delivers all the way. Still a little tannic - can be stored 5 more years without fading -- even become more intergrated.

  nose - wood, mushroom, mildly funky, eraser, heavy tannins, dark dried fruits and berries; taste - tiny bit hot on finish, chewy fruit with some tobacco and tar

  our last bottle of this, and really enjoyed it. fully mature at this point, with a lovely plum color slightly browning around the edges. nose was soft but driving with smoke and fruit. on the palate, this was still rich and yet soft/elegant in the mouth. very well enjoyed.
