  Ok I am amending my earlier review. I was wrong. More air does help the wine. Poured full glasses and tried again and the wine is much more full and more structured. It is still not amazing but it is way better than Chianti. At this point not sure what to recommend as far as decanting but air significantly improved it.

  Similar too previous notes but rated this wine too high. It’s maybe 89 points. Decanted for 30 minutes, tasted and poured back in the bottle because the air won’t help this. Very light in structure with a total lack of concentration. I can get the same thing with boring Chianti at half the price. This is an over priced pizza wine not worth the money. I don’t know if it’s me but the quality of BdM doesn’t seem nearly as good as 2007, 2010 or 2012. I’m starting to stear away from these now. Very unimpressive. More like a Happy Hour wine now.

  Very muted nose, but still a lovely/balanced middle (albeit light) and decent lasting finish. Not sure if in dumb phase or what, but I don’t get the sense this one is going to last many more years in the bottle

  Decanted 3.5 hrs then poured a half glass. First sip was….weird, what is this? Very light, complete funk, very acidic and I was just wondering what was going on. Finally after about a half hour the funk blew off and it became recognizable as Brunello. The wine needs a long decant at this point. That being said, this isn’t an amazing BdM. It is light, not very structured and seems a bit diluted really. Good news is I only bought four bottles and wouldn’t be inclined to buy more. Average at best.
