Beautifully aged Brunello. Still has some nice fruit of red cherry and strawberry but has really given way to the secondary flavors now of leather, earth, spice, dried flowers, and tobacco notes. Lovely complexity right now with smooth tannins and long finish. Enjoy now and over the next several years.

Mature and lovely. I love older aged wines, so this might not be in the wheelhouse of those who would prefer more structure and freshness in their wines. Autumnal notes, licorice, leather and blend together to provide complexity. Soft on the palate with totally resolved tannins. Still good fruit leading to a rather sweet finish. Drink up and enjoy.

From magnum. Nicely evolved in colour with notes of earth, spices, dried red fruit, dried flowers, tobacco. On the palate evolved but there is still grip, good fruit and bright acidity. Lacking a bit of depth and length, but overall pretty impressive. Drink up. 90-92

Mature right now, but not old. Smooth and rounded with overtones of raisin, smoke, and earth. Good depth. Held up well with wood-fired pizza.

Showing all the signs of age, but lovely and continued to improve as it opened up.
