Sjenerøs nese med treverk, lær, tobakk og mørke bær. Noe krydderi. Slank frukt og noen elementer av jord, mineraler i munnen. Avslepne og tilgjengelige tanniner. Nok grep til å takle rødt kjøtt. Bra konsentrasjon. Medium lengde. Behagelige 13,5 % ABV. De lager dem ikke slik lengre grunnet klimaendringer. Fullmoden. Den siste flaska er alltid den beste! Holder seg godt over tre-fire timer. Drikk nå. Ypperlig til grillet t-bone.

Opened 4 hours before drinking, only aired in bottle. Ruby core with slightly brown rim. Smells of wood, iron, earth and after some while; leather. Mature wine with still some fruit left. Good structure. Decent length. Had it with lamb and it was great. Great value. Will hold some more years.

Aged extrmely wll. Wine was at it's peak. Softer than bottles consumed earlier, this one was well worth waiting for. Held up very well with a Girello alla Genovese dinner.

OMG, it finally shed the reductivity (albeit with a one hour decant before dinner)! This is now a downright pretty wine. Still will cruise for another 15 years.

3 Decades of Brunellos & Rossos from Montalcino (Portland, OR)
This was my least favorite of the night. Too earthy for my taste.
