Opened 30 minutes before dinner, no decant. Very well integrated, held nicely over the course of a couple hours. Would drink within the next 6 months as don’t see it improving.

Much better than my last bottle. A beautiful Brunello that is drinking really well right now. It may be entering the end of its peak drinking plateau, so drink up. Opened about 4+ hours before drinking, not decanted, which worked well.

Decanted for 30 minutes before dinner. There was definitely some sediment left behind in the bottle. Wonderfully complex nose of red and black fruits and lose-leaf tobacco. The palate was tannic at first but mellowed with air. In the end it was well-balanced and complex with a medium-long finish. Wish I had a few more!

New Years Eve accompaniment to Beef Wellington. As other recent tasters below noted, mine was past its prime with some stewed fruit. Disappointing!
