  Aging slowly. This bottle was perhaps just past it zenith, but most I've had are not. Very typical red fruits, mushrooms, earthiness, dried herbs, touch of smoked meats/tar.

  Great with brown butter sweet potato gnocchi in Los Gatos, super deep and dark fruit with savory umami for days.

  Slow ox 5 hours. A little bit of orange at the edge but no material bricking. Red cherry with plenty of mushroom, forest floor and touches of cassis. Very smooth. 15 second finish. Still plenty of life.

  Gave it 3 hours slow ox. Very smooth and classic brunello from a very good year. Ripe dark fruits, with touches of red fruits, dried herbs, Oak and some mushrooms. Very smooth. Very little sediment. Just starting to brick a bit, but solid color otherwise.

  Solid color with no real age showing. Took about 45 minutes in the glass to come around. Red cherry, barely ripe, some dark fruits as well. Dried herbs, Oak and touch of mushrooms. Very smooth. A full body mouthfeel. This bottle clearly had another 3 to 5 years quality drinking in it.
