  Light to medium body. 2 hour splash decant and it wasn’t enough. Still tightly wound. Nice fruit potential and balance if the tannins can mellow; fruit seems to want to be more expressive but needs major air that I didn’t give it.

  Earlier bottle was consumed too young, acids had not settled. This bottle was just now ready to drink. Seductive nose of dark plum. Fruit-forward, with black currants, undertones of dark-roast coffee and a long finish.

  This is my 3rd time to try this wine. I’m officially a fan now. This had been decanted about 6 hours prior, which did it favors, but it’s still in the camp with Cerbaiona and Biondi Santi in a very structured, tall and muscular version of BdM with high acidity that’s intended to age glacially. This bottle was absolutely delicious with the air it had received. My WOTD

  Medium ruby color
  Nose of leather, earth, and orange
  Cherry, orange peal and tea.
  Strong acidity and high tannins
  Medium-plus bodied wine. Very pleasant experience.
  
  My second Tuscan Brunello. I think I like Brunello.
