  I decanted off the sediment and took to a local restaurant for dinner. The bottle seemed sound when I decanted it, but with air, a faint whiff of cork taint emerged. Just enough on the nose to detract from the wine. A couple others at the table didn't detect it. Underneath, this was going to be a pretty solid bottle of Chianti. Unfortunately, my last bottle.

  Served blind. This showed very well, and I think it has plenty of time left if we’ll kept. The wine has a little rubber on the nose, which led me to Nebbiolo, but the satiny texture and luxardo cherry point to brunello. This was beginning to peak in my opinion
