As close to perfect as any BdM I’ve ever had. Profound nose, full of spice, black earth and sour cherry. Explosion on the palate with so many secondary elements emerging over time in the glass…mineral, baked cherry pie, sweet oak. Next level, 20+ years ahead but no need to wait…

Special production on the best vintage, really really smooth, very fine tannin and now overpowering acidity, great structure, also 30 mths in French oak.

Two about two hours of air to start to unfold. This wine probably shouldn't be opened again for 5-10 years

#Decanted this 2010 for 1.5 hours. Initially it #I chose for my New Year’s eve wine with a grilled ribeye and vegetables. Decanted for1.5 hours. It was really nice but tight and then after about 45 more minutes particular swirling it in the glass it just exploded into one of the best Brunellos I have ever tasted.# would rate it easily at 9.5.
