Opened and was a little disjointed with some muted fruit and VA. After decanting it came together with the fruit still not really showing thru but having nice tertiary flavors that I love in old Brunello. Not great but what a treat from the great Gianfranco Soldera who is no longer with us.

It took almost 8 hrs for this wine to open. After it is opened up, the nose expresses iron, blood, dark fruit, prunes, herbs, and meat. Palate is rich and ripe with round fruit. The finish is not as long as the 84 and 99 tonight. This wine will improve with more aging.

Most tasters hate it - lots of violate and balsamic - but I loved it. Amazing with balsamic focaccia.

Drank this bottle with little time to let it breath. Notwithstanding that it was a smooth well balanced Brunello and probably at or near its peak
