light bricking of the wine. a bit horsey on the nose, with some dark fruits. in the mouth this had some sweet red fruits and minerals. medium long, softer than i thought for an 88

Full brick, orange on the rim. A brute. Nose never developed much beyond indistinct old burg/forest floor. Lean and angular on the palate at first, filling out after an hour or so to show distinct black cherry notes with interesting mineral components on a medium-length finish. My wife poured this out when I opened a 1999 Martinelli. Storage issues are a possibility here; there was 2 cm ullage although the top half of the cork was clean and dry.

A little burly at first, but opened up nicely, and by end of night showed elegance. Roasted meat and coffee over black cherry and plum. B+/A-
