This Magnum had to have had some poor storage and it's lifetime. Clearly over the hill

Amazing Brunello! Smooth, Devine tannins. Lovely on the palate, would pair well with a smoked boar or lamb! Wine of the gods!

Great brunello! Still very tannic. Delicious earth, leather, dried sour cherry. Beautiful mouthfeel.

This is singing right out of the gate! With no decanting, it's delicious. Bright, nicely tannic, smooth finish. Surprisingly fresh for its age. Let's see what a few hours might bring... and still great on day 2. Really good bottle 🏆

Perfect timing ... Milk chocolate rolls off this baby. Nose and palate. I don't think this wine could be any more ready. Some light spearmint, but mainly super creamy, butterscotch, God I love this winery. Still a ton of tannin.

After 12 hours of bottle decanting it is showing loads of dark chocolate
