Good stuff. No problems here...used in comparison to a flight of 1988 B di Montalcino

Wow what a pleasure. Very complex but balanced with age.

I've never met a brunello I didn't like... But this may be in decline.

Bought this in 2003 for my parents. Now they are sharing. Maybe not as BOOM as the 1997. But still pretty boom. WOW.

1998 drank in 2020. More acid than fruit. Best days are past. Better than the 1st btl from Ben's.
