  Last bottle of 3.
  
  This was a bit disappointing, felt a bit off. The alcoholic nose never really disappeared, which killed the wine.
  
  Tannins are soft, good lenght. Still a tiny bit of fruit hanging in there.

  cork perfect - moderate sediment - 3.5 hr decant plenty - dark color with full mouthfeel - nice finish - well integrated and ready to roll. Big step in evolution as compared to my bottle last summer. 92

  Excellent after open 5 hours, but tightly wound enough that it'll be even better in another couple of years. Vibrant, clear ruby/violet. Nose is a little reticent compared to the pure fruit on the palate: marasca cherry, black plum, licorice, new leather. Tannins prevalent but in balance, long finish. With no disrespect to Bordeaux or Napa, Brunello is my steak wine. Approaching peak and eminently drinkable, but its best days are still ahead.

  Although open for a couple of hours the wine was rather closed and did not open up during the evening; red cherry, blackberry, licorice and balsamico. I have four left, let’s see how they’ll develop

  1 hr decant - Seems to have firmly entered its drinking window. Well integrated, lively with light red fruit - cherry - nice finish. Glad I have 8 more! Should age gracefully.
