  very good, although still a little closed even with 2 hours breathing time. Not memorable, but still very enjoyable.

  1993-2003 Brunello Tasting. This is a single vineyard bottling from San Felice's best plot. It is a "riserva" which at the time meant that it saw five years of aging in oak before release. It is a remarkeable wine, which might actually improve with some more bottle ageing. It is a very big wine, high in acidity and still a little tight. I think other reviewers might simply have been drinking it too early and/or without enough aeration.

  This wine is solid and very characteristic of Brunello, with tart cherries, earth notes, smoke, and mature fruit. It is drinking very well now and it is a generous wine in all aspects (nose, palate, and finish). Yet, it has a structural problem: the oak and the fruit did not become well integrated, and so it feels disjointed, with the oak overpowering the fruit. Had it been smoother and better integrated it would have merited a score in the mid-nineties. As it is, it is in the high-eighties. Drink by 2010.

  Tasted March 16, 2005 at an offline so brief comments only. Opened and served immediately in Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glasses. Garnet color in the glass with a slightly dusty tinge. Aromas of smoke, raspberry and wet earth. Flavors of Bing cherry, strawberry, earth and just a whisper of mocha on the finish. Ready to go now with minimal decanting IMO. Good wine but probably not worth the price of admission. Note: while searching for an existing tasting note I noticed there are two tasting notes on the regular bottling.
