  June 24, 2018 - No formal notes taken. Cork crumbling.
  
  Surprisingly alive and well. Still some withs of cherries on the nose. Pleasant overall feel, balanced, smooth.

  December 27, 2016 - High-quality Italian wines tasting (Wine-Route, Tel-Aviv): medium intensity transparent red-brown
  excellent delicate tertiary leathery nose with truffles hints
  light elegant body, soft integrated firm tannins, high acidity, good balance, very good harmony, lean structured, medium complexity, fine leathery finish and aftertaste
