Showing a precise tertiary level for its age and 375ml bottle size. Still has some grip, dusty library notes but still holding onto lots of ripe and tart fruit character and a long meaty herbaceous finish. Very good. Can go much longer.

Bright, cran-cherry, smoky, tar with rosy raspberry strawberry olfactory workings. Really pointed yet refined mouthfeel and saturating, infusing, insta-marinating mouth explosion of basil-mint and bay that knit into a love blanket of satin and dreams that are ridiculously seductive and broad-stroked on the black cherry reduction with black olive, tart blueberry skins, just waiting to unwind your mind. #brunellodimontalcino #brunello #caparzo #italianwine #montalcino

Half bottle. Red currants. Simple. Alcohol dominates.

This bottle wasn’t quite as good as the last one we opened. Still lots of development in the glass though. Started out with light red fruit which blossomed into a bit of a skunky character and finally the floral notes came out.

We caught this at a seemingly perfect moment. So smooth and elegant! Floral notes blend with tobacco on the nose. Silky on the palate. Beautiful.

Still tight, this unwound to a beautiful expression; so well paired with bistec florentine rucola and pasta
