Yeah. Can’t say I didn’t like it but also not that it was special. A bit out of balance. Very acidic that overruled the fruit underneath. Had expected more of a concert from a wine of nearly 9 years old and a good vintage.

Came into classic Brunello profile only on Day 2. Worth the wait. Great fruit, balanced tannins. Day 1 it was thin and astringent. Much smoother after giving it time

Dry and light Sangiovese. Great to start the night with! Has old world/earthy qualities.

Vibrant dark cherry with some hints of fresh plum. Such well integrated, rounded tannins that made it an extreme balanced wine with a great finish.

Decent value bottle picked up at Costco. Not young tasting; seems like it is close to peak and won’t age as well as I’d hope.
