A favourite from Montalcino. Determinedly old-fashioned and biodynamic. Closed at first, then Brett, before becoming fruitier and more expressive.

Pork chop, rosemary, funghi porcini, BRUNELLO. 2009 - drink it now. So open, expressive, aromatic; tender and giving. Dig in!

Consumed over the course of 24 hours. Serious Brunello on the nose, with deep fruit, sun baked spices, leather, and earthy intensity. Apollonian on the palate, round, huge, and chiseled, with big fruit and spice. The next day, got more aromatic and prettier. Intense stuff, might take a while to get to full maturity.
