  Opening party at Meyer. Tasted blind. Drank in Sydonios Meridional.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dusty Tuscan earth, dark red cherries, red plums. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, dipping medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), smooth elegant high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of fine leather, dark red cherries, sour red cherries, red plum, savoury dusty Tuscan earth, fine spice. Long finish.
  Very good quality. I was guessing high end Brunello. Lots of life ahead. Bottle hand carried back from Italy.

  Took me a while to adjust expectations to what was in the glass. And because of that, it took a few minutes to recognize how really excellent this wine is. We decided it may be showing what old-style Brunello was actually like before. The wine was light in appearance - like a cool climate pinot noir but earthy, high-minus acid, bright red cherry and menthol. Really fine tannins that were medium-plus. Red currant. On the nose it was earth and menthol and cherry. In the mouth it was that plus spice and red currant. Elegant and finessed and with a finish that carried on and on. Such an exceptional wine. In a grouping (with prime grade NY steak and grilled asparagus) with a 2000 Leoville Barton and a 2004 Cappellano Pie Franco. Sometimes we just get lucky.

  Cork looked and felt fine yet wine was super advanced given its age. If blind, would have guessed it was a 40 year old Barolo.

  Great nose nearly straight from the bottle. Big dark fruits with a red currant undertone leading to delightfully long finish.

  Perfect cork with no signs of any movement up the cork at all. No signs of age in the glass. Muted nose a bit and after 1-2 hours decant started to open up. Restrained and balanced just starting to show some secondary flavors but still has bright acidity. Lighter body than other vintages but classic Biondi Santi. Would drink or hold as this has many years to go and may be slightly shit down right now.
