This was a gratuitous pairing favoring a more impressive wine over the right wine. Paired with grilled chicken and lemon polenta over a sliced onion pan sauce. Bordering garnet. Lots of pruney, stewed fruit pointing to a hot vintage (15.5% abv.)
Ripe and spicy tobacco, leather, and fig jam. From magnum and ready to drink. 750’s likely on the decline. Sustainable.

More modern style. French oak and vanilla notes. Blackberry fruit. Still has Brunello notes, but not as rustic. Tannins are still pronounced. Paired well with criollo ribeye. Hold a few more years. Finish is impressive.

Takes a bit to open but if you like the dark mocha, coffee. This has decent value at only 2x the retail at felice
