On the lighter side for Brunello but otherwise quite a good showing. Cherry/strawberry fruit, a touch of tar and tobacco, peppery spice. Still drinking quite well even on day 2.

Improving with age (cellar tracker drinking window is too short). Balance between strong cherry fruit and the leather, iron and earth structural notes is beautiful. Fruit faded towards the end of the bottle, but that did not diminish from the pleasure of each sip.

Not sure if it was faded fruit or a tiny bit of TCA that killed some of it, but this was pretty herbal and earthy without the fruit to balance. Doesn't quite resemble the bottle I had earlier, but I don't know this wine well enough to know whether it's over the hill or if this one was flawed.

Decanted and served with chicken and pesto pasta. Great pairing which helped this wine tremendously. Overall a nice light brunello easy drinker. Nothing memorable. Pretty earthy at this point. Drink up.

On the lighter side and lacking complexity. Light cherry and a hint of wood and tar. Not much else in the flavor profile. Acidity keeps it going.
