This is a beautiful, subtle Brunello. It's drinking perfectly now. Decanted and let sit at 66 degrees for 4 hours and it was pristine. Very smooth and balanced. Not a big nose, note long finish, but velvety, dried fruit, cherries, and a hint of vanilla. Excellent wine and for $45 was a steal.

Decanted for about 1 hour. Full-bodied, concentrated Brunello. A bit short on fruit but very nice. Became more interesting after another 2 hours in class.

Very nice, elegant Brunello. Soft tannins and lively fruit. Decant for 1-2 hours before serving. A couple of years in the cellar will do this wine good.

Darg rubby with brown tinges. Concentrated and balanced. Dried fruits and cherries. Very good. Still good aging potential.
