Powerful, rustic, fruity, tannic and rich. Excellent showing but should have more elegance and complexity with 5 more years.

This was awesome, classic aged brunello, great aged fruit and leather and still good acidity.

Great wine. I don't normally say powerhouse but next to the ArPePe that's how it seemed. Seemed a bit off at opening, possibly slightly corked, but after wearing off tasted much better. Still not what I remember, and I think it should have been better, but it was perfect with dry-aged steaks.
