Matured brunello aromas immediately after opening, serious tannin grip, good acidity levels, this is fantastic with food. Consumed over 4 hrs, but it needs some 2hrs decanting beforehand. This is on the muscular side, some finesse could easily bring it to 92+ category, but it is what it is - great with food, I doubt will improve but will keep for 5-6y with ease.

Patience has paid off. 3 hour decant and this was great. Balance leaned towards the Montalcino terroir, but enjoyable to drink. A hint more fruit and this would have been a 92+. Not sure this will get better.

Classic mature Brunello, now mellowing. Leather, walnuts, figs, balsamic vinegar, dried black cherries on the nose, nice complexity. Smooth texture, body rounded, tannins still higher. If this is a representative bottle, then it's time to drink up.
