Good, but not at all great for a Brunello. This wine should have been a lot more complex, and should have had much more presence, than it did. Ordered it off the wine list at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse so I would expect it to have been reasonably well stored - therefore I conclude that the wine was mediocre rather than the cellaring.
