  It really gives me the irrits when someone uses the BdM teaser, I click on expecting to see a note on Bonneau du Martray and there’s a note on a Brunello. Well I apologise for I have sinned.
  
  Today I drank the oldest Bdm I have had. The 1969 Silio Nardi Brunello di Montalcino was given a 7 hour ‘Audouze’. It had an engaging aroma, comprised mainly of plant matter derived things. Decaying roses, compost, root vegetables, pine needles, tobacco and autumnal leaves. It has vinous sweetness and plenty of earth along with a shot of espresso. It is one of those wines that forces you to slow down, come a little closer and concentrate. The palate is quite silky but still has some tannic chew on the back-end. It is a cerebral wine and as the last of the 720mls disappeared we yearned for an extra 30.
