Opened after we were let down by by last two Altessino 2012s. Opens a with a bit of funk and settle down nicely. Drank well with typical BDM notes but nothing special - a little disappointed.
2 hour decant. Red fruit and mouth drying tannins. Despite the tannins, this always drinks well young for me. Mature notes of smoke, earth and cigar box coming through on the palate. I would expect this to continue to get better. Looking forward to more bottles but plan to wait a bit.

Not the greatest Brunello and not great QPR at $39 from Garagiste as a Mystery. Not getting the value from the recent Mysteries. Should probably stick to the Washington Mysteries.

Took to ribeye dinner. Surprisingly elegant, given the vintage. Reasonably good acidity. Good BdM typicity.
