1 hour decant. Bricking evident in the glass. Still vibrant aromas and fruit on the palate. Tannins really showed up at about the 2 hour mark - but agree with the others who say that this might not be so good on Day 2. A lush experience - could easily be mistaken for a California cab.

Consistent with prior note, if anything more elegant and succulent than the last bottle. Rich black cherries, hints of grapefruit and blood orange, faint floral notes. Better with a decant. 2 more bottles and will be hard to hold off on them.

In good years the standard Brunello of Casanova di Neri performs like a high end Brunello. Give it 10+ years at a minimum and enjoy. The 2012 should not evolve further, I believe. Will finish my reserves this new 2024.

modern style Brunello - deep red cherry and raspberry with some grilled herb and smoke on the finish.
