Garagiste purchase. Slow ox for 30min and consumed over the following 4hrs. Somewhat muted nose. Some floral and non specific fruity notes, palate of black current, tobacco, blueberry. Acid medium, tannins medium. Medium finish. Still has gas left in the tank - would drink over the next 10 years

Purchased at the winery in 2012. Slow ox for 90 min and consumed over 4hrs. Nose of balsamic, stewed plum, cherry and red liquorice. Lots of secondary and some tertiary notes on the palate - leather, spices, raisin, ripe red plum. Medium tannin, medium acidity. Unlike other notes i wouldn’t say this is overly advanced compared to other 2007 brunello. Just reflects a hot vintage that probably isn’t built for the long haul. For me this is probably at peak and I would drink any remaining bottles over the next 5 years.

very pronounced black licorice on the nose. dark and brooding, very little sign of age. acidity is medium, tannins are medium, palate of black current, dark cherry with little in the way of any secondary or tertiary notes. finish is medium. Very good drink, but a little uninteresting at this stage. Drink or hold.
