Smoke, black currant, autumn leafs and herbs on the nose. Palate was so powerful and complex. Acidity was bright. Very good brunello. 99 is such an underrated vintage for italian wine. In my view, it is better than 97.

Very open and drinking well. Nice elegant, mid weight. Excellent nose, nice mid and very good finish. Acid and tannins resolved. I have had this a couple times years ago, and would say it is drinking much better now. Entering prime drinking window. Complex and smooth.

Dense ruby. The nose is ripe, rich cherries, smoke and warm earth. Medium body with good dark cherry fruit and nicely balanced acid and tannins. Very nice nose, but the body and the palate fall short of my expectations for Brunello. Lacks complexity and a good finish.

Drank with the Staigers. Lovely. Delicate middle and long finish.
