  Decanted one hour. Blind tasting in zalto for my guest. Nose noble of leather, blackcurrant, iberico ham, cigarbox and alcohol. Palate well structure mostly with a souvereign acidity, fine tannins, blackcurrant pomegranate, pomelo (indeed an agrume), land old cupboard drawer. Long palate, ending on a light dry touch. Superb, has just past his apogée.

  So big and complex, it’s hard to believe this is not the riserva. Aromas include roses, bay leaf, plums and prunes, and cigar. I love the balance on the palate. Good acidity despite the vintage. Tannins are just right.

  Good for a less than ideal vintage.
  Nez de vieille barrique, de boite à épices, de tabac, de cuir et de baies rouges. Souple avec des tannins fins, mi-corsé, fruité...cerise mûre. Finale peu remarquable : persistance moyenne, soupçon de griotte. Cette bouteille n'a pas la profondeur/complexité typique d'un Brunello. Boire sans tarder selon moi. 90-

  Classic Brunello: red cherry, leather, prune, tobacco leaf, blackcurrant, medium minus body, long sour cherry dominant finish.
