Drank socially w/o close attention but wine left strong general impression of leather, old wood, cherry. Complex and balanced, evolving. Tending towards profound. Best WTSO purchase yet. Also seemed like it was at its peak. Color not very bright, no freshness left. None of that in a negative sense, just gives impression of not having a long future.

Divine nose of black cherry and truffles. Layered and complex flavors that kept giving different nuances with each trip to the glass. A real shockingly pleasant find. Tasted blind in a wine group with 8 other oenophiles and this wine unanimously won WOTN from among a flight of 9 other brunellos, including Casanova di Neri cerretalto, Ill Poggione, etc.
