So much better than my previous bottle which started off mildly corked. This one had no such stink to blow off. PnP, color ever so slightly starting to show a bit of age. Modest nose. On the palate, nicely balanced traditional BDM, with a bit of age coming into play. Nicely balanced, light on its feet, light-to-medium bodied. Juicy acidity. Lingering finish that upped the ante a bit. Very enjoyable over a couple of hours. I probably will drink my final bottle sooner rather than later, but there is lots of life left here.

Classically-styled brunello. PnP, drank over a couple of hours. Upon opening I thought it was mildly corked, but that turned out to mostly be a corky stink that blew off after about 10-15 mins. Somewhat muted nose after the stink blew off, opened up after an hour. On the palate, light on its feet, medium bodied. Nice acidity. Finish was the best part, lingered for a bit. I've enjoyed this bottling in the past, probably best to decant right now

A little young, but still delicious. Drank well on its own and paired well with buratta and mushroom crostini.

Good but not great. Prior vintages of this wine have been better.
