  Decanted, quite solid tannins yet and needed 30 min to soften, good amount of sediment. Color is dark with a little brick on the edge, matured Brunello aromas, vibrant and silky, leather, tobacco, meaty, nice depth with mouthh watering finish. Pristine bottle - bought from that wonderfull shop ''Enoteca Antica Latteria'' in San Gimignano an year ago.

  Just starting to come apart with the consistency of grape must. Definitely left it too long. Drink up.

  A light crimson showing its age with tan edges. Quite rustic on the nose, with more twigs, brush, dust, and rose, than fruit. Very reserved cherry fruit that opened only slightly over time. Rural and dusky overall. Finishes dry with noticeable, firm tannins.

  Some funk and game on the nose. Rubber and leather, smooth with a long finish. Had aged nicely. Big, chewy, excellent with spicy meat. Black cherry fruit.

  Still fairly youthful in appearance. Very (almost excessively) woody nose that improves some with a lot of air -- picks up anise and the fruit pops through a bit. Woodiness less prevalent on the palate and the overall taste is of fairly typical (albeit somewhat new-worldy) Brunello. Good balance of fruit, oak, chalky tannins. Missing a bit on the acidity front. Good overall and better over several hours of air.
