After looking at the community score I was not expecting much from this brunello. Fortunately, I found this to be an excellent brunello that was supposed to be past its drink by date.

This was so nice and in a great spot in my opinion. Much of the fruit character has given way to the more earthy, savory qualities of underbrush, hints of crushed flowers, and some wild mushroom. I also found the dusty, granitic note that I often get with sangiovese. On the palate, the tannins are wll intergrated but still have just enough grip to them. Great length for its age. Caught this bottle at a great time.

After letting it breath for 20 minutes, this was a very good Brunello. Five years after its "drink by date".
