Better than earlier bottle, which I may have over decanted. This one just single decanted and poured, lovely fine tannin structure with cherries and hints of dark chocolate and liquorice spice. Excellent wine

O...M....G....I am going to make a serious statement here and say this was the BEST WINE I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE. The stars were all aligned when this wine was made. It had everything going for it - flavour, intensity, length, complexity, tannin. It was juicy, savoury and big. Colour: medium ruby red Nose: developing, medium intensity, cassis, dark cherries, blackberries, cedar, graphite pencil shavings Palate: medium plus intensity, dark sour cherries, blackberries, cassis, cedar, graphite pencil shavings, savoury. Silky, chalky tannins, long length, full body, medium plus acid, well rounded. An amazing Brunello with such a long life ahead. Amazing intensity, smooth, long length. Very Pauillac-like with the pencil shavings and cassis. A+++++

4 hour slow ox. Definitely needs food, drinking well now, I suspect at its peak.

Lovely wine. A bit flat, even a bit oxidised on the nose, but lovely palate, showing beautiful savoury flavours and sour dark cherry. Really enjoyable
