Oh so nice with a perfectly made Bolognese. Not at all too early.

Not a good vintage, but according to the experts it's ready. After it opened up, it was great.

Katie guessed a 2018 Chianti... not too far off.

Side by side taste of Dry Aged vs Wagyu Striploin. Happy long weekend.

This 2015 fruit has past it’s peak. Still enjoyable but drink these if you have them.

Beast.

Oak. Leather. A bit of cigar.

It’s fantastic right now.

I can only imagine in another decade.

2015 is magical.

Tasted ‘05 again. 100% Sangiovese, aged in oak for 2 years, Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black & red fruits with sweet spice. On the palate, this full-bodied wine had medium acidity, very smooth tannins showing ripe fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry with cacao, cedar spice complex yet not overpowering as flavors emerge to a long pleasant finish ending with mineral and earthy notes. This is Top Flight! Wow! Aged well!

A very nice, somewhat glossy example of BdM. Cherries, dried herbs, black tea. Certainly hits the spot and unmistakably Brunello.
