90 cork pulled, 92 after pored thru aerator, 97 after slow-oxed fro 2 hours. this needs more time and at a minimum should be decanted 2 hours prior to drinking. delicious.

accelerated the decent thru an aerator and then poured thru aerator. Boy is this good. My first bottle of case. The 03s are either slow to mature or not very good to begin with. Right up there with the Pontet and the Pavie.

surprisingly youthful with slight evolution since last tried. Great nose and fruit with no browning of edges and slight tannins bode well for additional life, I would guess at least five years. Still a delicious brunello.
