I had this 8 months ago, and I think it deserves better than my first rating. Aggressive up front. It is pretty dark as far as fruit goes. A little green stuff (twigs and leaves), and leathery tannins. There is no metallic taste like in my previous note.

Monday night equals grocery store pick. Sweet, acidic, peachy and apricoty. Grilling up chicken, peppers, and zucchini.

Sweet. Pineapple and dried apricots. Full mouthfeel, lower acidity. Looks like we're on the same page @Seth Masterson

Cheers to this hear drizzle! Formerly revived by the producer-Mastroberardino in former hazelnut plantations in the Avellino hills. Hazelnut is not surprisingly 1 of the characteristics imparted in the beautifully refined finish!

I will think about hazelnut when I pour another. Interesting!

This coats my tongue with thick strawberry jam and spice flavors. A little fuzzy sensation.

Dark fruit and raisins drive this thing, but it's juicy and puckery. Stony finish. Good!

Got me a new pair of old man glasses at Costco and picked up a couple bottles. This Brunello is good but doesn't knock my socks off. Very light bodied, chewy cherries, flower petals, and tight acid. Short finish. Yes, I know @Doug Powers I shouldn't drink Brunello this young, but hey it's Costco. And I don't get the feeling this can go for a long haul.

Also from Costco. Surprised me, it's really nice. Cherries, plums, garrigue, and wet stones. Makes for an engaging sipper.
