Really lovely, and even more persistent than I remember. In perfect form right now.

Delicious with pizza and a pork chop. Needs time or serious decanting.

Initially very closed with a damp forest nose and little fruit. Eventually opened up for more balanced and pleasant flavors. Has many characteristics of older Brunello.

Another delicious Burgundian Brunello. Somewhat angular.

A rather high toned BdM. Despite its light color, this can use more time to harmonize.

Floral. Light to medium in body. Great structure. Classic Brunello. In Mag. Plenty of life left.

Discovered these wines at Garagiste in Seattle way back when they were 40 bucks. Slightly orange tinge. Don't get a lot in the nose just a hint of iron. On the palate leather. Lost its fruit may be closed? May be I am unfair? Will try this wine over the next two days and adjust my rating if I was wrong. Ok here we go a day later under Argon (I build my own system) this wine shines! Now it has dark faint cherry notes and some cedar plank slightly bitter in the back. Long but light on its feet! This is one beautiful spectacular classic Brunello! Can't believe the average price is now 81 bucks 50% more but this happens quite often with the gems I discover early enough in their geek/enthusiast price cycle. By the way their 2012 Chianti is also very good for much less but more rustic.
