Finally has come into its own. Some browning notable but still gave it an hour decant. Notes of dried fruit, licorice, herbs, tobacco and earth. Acidity still there to provide a backbone with some well-integrated tannins. Quite tasty!

After reading some mixed reviews, I was nervous about this one. Opened 5hrs early and it exceeded my (low) expectations. Very drinkable, if perhaps not very memorable..which it should have been for the price I paid. Will try my second and last bottle in a few years.

Meh. This was OK. Tannins were fairly dry, but not unpleasant. Fairly light-bodied for a Brunello Riserva. I was not familiar with this producer, but figured I'd give it a shot as it was under $50. I would pass on this one. Drink or hold.

Two hour decant. Not long enough. This one is rough around the edges....needs another year or two.

Sehr schöne Frucht, etwas weniger Struktur als die erste Flasche, macht wohl jetzt zu, die nächste Flasche nicht vor 2024 trinken
