Certainly a well aged Brunello. Cork was fine -- not much sediment. Fruit has given way to the leather, chocolate, coffee flavors. Tannins have softened as well. Still drinking nicely.

Deep garnet in color with a slight bricked edge. Nose of stewed cherries, leather, hint of blackberries and vanilla. Tastes of dark cherries, dark chocolate, expresso, and hints of leather and graphite. Lovely wine with plenty of positive evolution potential. Nice balance and much more fruit then the last bottle. Drink over next 7 years.

Drank immediately after decanting. Near end of life but still intact. If you've got it, drink it.

Good, but not quite up to expectations. A bit thin with flavors that quit very quickly.

Decant and let it sit at least an hour.
