This was unfortunately more over the hill than I prefer. We let it open up for about 30 minutes. It still had good acidity and body, as well as some aged fruit, but it’s age overpowered the other flavors for me.

Lovely mature brunello from top site, leather,chocolate, sage, sous bois. Great length. Nose makes you think that bottle is overly tertiaire but not at all in mouth.

Has really aged well! Almost thought it was a Rhone. Dense. Fruit there but more earthy than I remember it. Love it!
