  Nice fruity nose of strawberry. Still a powerful wine with good fruit, cranberry and blackberry, followed by some leather and tobacco. Has some nice spice to it as well. Really solid. Short decant to get the sediment out (then was none) and drank over the next few hours.

  Solid Brunello: cherry, leather, oak, blackberry, pepper, cranberry, medium body, nice acidic long finish. Neighbors over for drinks & diner.

  Monday, April 10, 2023 - I had this one mis-labeled as a '13 in the cellar....drank alongside another '12 Brunello last night at HMCs for dinner. Decanted 90 min as was the other Brunello. This one much lighter in the glass, a little more bricking and whereas the Casanova drank younger, than a '12, this Tenuta looked, drank and felt older than a '12. Much less cherry, less floral. Seemed a bit more tired and rung out. Procured from the same shop about a year apart, cellared the same at home. This one was nice, but a good 3+ points less than the '12 Casanova last night. HMC said this one felt, smelled, tasted a bit Bdx-ish and I think he's right. It even had a little Bdx funk on the nose when first opened. A small amount left in the decanter with a topper at room temp to try the next day....will post an addendum should it warrant it. 89 the 1st night.
  
  *addendum posted under the 'comments' 91 the 2nd night.
