  Nice Brunello; still showing lots of life. Soft fruit balanced harmoniously with modest tannins. Feels like it has a few more years left in it.

  Leather, dried cherry, hints of cinnamon and strawberry.
  Dark red no browning. Soft on the palate with lots of dried cherry and strawberry. leather and wet stone. Nice complexity.. Very long finish. Decanted for 30 mins.
  Opened even more in the glass and held the fruit.
  Wonderful old Brunello!

  Been sitting on my last of three for quite some time. Decided to use a little bit in my Christmas Eve fish gravy and have the rest with the pasta/gravy. It went perfectly together. This evolved nicely over the years. Gone were the red cherries and funk that dominated it's youth. This was more layered flavors of balsamic, leather and ripe strawberry.

  Low expectations given the recommended drinking window. Drinking beautifully, but fully mature. Highly complex, displays lots of cooked red cherry, stewed raspberry, powdered cocoa, old shoe leather, dried tobacco, old pine forest, and balsamic. Structure is definitely lurking and well intact. Lacks the power that I remember from late 2010, but now reflects balance and elegance. Finishes long. Decanted with lots of sediment in both the bottle and the decanter. Enjoyed with a pepperoni pizza. Unlikely to improve with further cellaring, but if cellared properly this might drink well for another 3+ years. Still 92 points.
