Last of 12, pnp, travelled cork, perfect level, surprisingly pale and brown, caramel rather than fruit, tired and past it, but drinkable just, never the best of vintages, previous bottles up to 2006 were slightly brutal and rustic, even for Brunello, if you have it drink immediately before rigor mortis sets in. QG- (13.5), in 06 VG+ (16.5).

Tuscany Wimps Lunch (La Trompette, Chiswick): This had a dirty and slightly musty nose that did improve over the course of the afternoon but never blew off completely, and which I found it difficult to get past. NR.

I was a little dissapointed with this bottle. I love this producer and 93 was a good year for Brunello but this wine seems like its a bit past its prime.
