  Sheesh, explosive, stunningly fresh, powerful, quite big, amazingly big for a nearly 25 year old Brunello. Love where this is heading.

  Stunning and amazing! Seriously one of the best wines of my entire collection. Classic Brunello with that earthly chalk finish. Lucious silky smooth dark cherry. Give it an hour to get started.

  Delightful! Perfect even after a one hour decant. Solid floral with limited sediment. Extremely smooth with zero tanins. Almost 25 years young and it remains a Winner.

  Dark garnet in color with minor clearing at the edges. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, leather, tobacco, mushrooms, tar, cocoa, minerals, balsamic notes & a hint of cedar in the background. Full bodied with very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, mature, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with mushrooms, minerals & herbs. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present & at 24 years of age, it is at or near its peak of development, so drink up! Cork was stained on bottom 1/3 but intact; fill was above the shoulder in lower neck.
