Not the best bottle I’ve had of this, but good nonetheless.

Is there another gear when you ratchet up your wine experience?
Clos de la Tech Pinot tasting -- outstanding craftsmanship and pursuit of quality. Intro of 2012 vintage features several stars, led by Cote de Sud -- truly a nugget among semi-precious gems. And then...back to the residence for 2012 Mastro Janni Brunello (swell) followed by 2009 Brigaldara Amarone (special). And then...out comes the 2000 Quintarelli Valpolicella -- is there another level, an overdrive gear from here? Arguably NO, this Quintarelli answers every question wine consumers may conjure. Yes, I believe this is the destination!

Smoke and acidity lead the way if it hasn't had enough time to breathe. At least an hour in the decanter is necessary. black cherry, smoke, black liquorice, well integrated tannins. Just phenomenal. Doesn't need any more time.
