2018. Does this need another few hours of decanting? After an hour being open, it’s still meh. I mean, it’s not bad but for what I paid for it, sheesh. Somebody please convince me that Brunellos are worth it. One example. Please.

Sour cherries, coffee beans and dark chocolate. Medium bodied, mouth fill, with a bitter orange peel aftertaste. Fine tannins and length.

Generous, silky, dense and holding onto its ripeness extremely well. Cannot imagine aging, love the approachability now.

Really good

A lovely clear garnet color in the center and light brown rim. Fresh rolled cigar aroma right off the bat with a nice black cherry and plum fruit quality. The minerality comes through for me as wet leaves and dirt. Savory like sautéed mushrooms on the palette, with a good bite to the tannins, acid, and alcohol, (at a whopping 15%!) which needs time. The fruit develops nicely in it’s quite decent length. I suspect this will get better and better in a few more year’s time.

Sep 1st, 2018Tobacco, eucalyptus, and vanilla on the nose with lovely savory fig and a metallic or wrought iron mineral quality in the mouth. The acidity is quite high (med ++) and the tannins are grippy. As it keeps opening it gets even more interesting. I imagine this will age for quite some time more!
