Richly aromatic and typical with aromas of baked cherry pie, mint, roasting meat, herb switches (thyme) and spices with a hint of flowers. Full-bodied and rich. Still moderately tannic, this should be great with meat dishes in a red sauce. Still fresh and bright, this is fully mature but will last several more years. Drink by 2024 92

Rich, round, complete, tobacco notes, a very fine brunello just entering a window of excellence. Glad to have the better part of the case left. I bet this gets better for 7-10 more years.

Amazing wine. Opened for four hours without decanting. Drank over four more hours and it was still great. Although, I agree with the others that this peaking.

Nice nose of roasted strawberries, cigar bow, leather... Nice fresh but ripe tannin, nice finish, sappy strawberries, nice mature Brunello.

Like well-aged Bordeaux with top-flight Sangiovese, this wine is singing now. If only I had more.
