August 20, 2023 - Fantastisk oplevelse. Sprællevende med god syre, lækker frugt og faste tanniner. Klassisk venstrebreds Bordeaux-blend med cedertræ, tobak og solbær. Vildt, at den holder så godt efter 20 år i flasken.

April 24, 2023 - Had at dinner last night. Drinking beautifully. I think it's at its peak drinking window (although showing no signs of fading anytime soon). All that a super Tuscan like this should be, fruit forward but beautifully layered at the same time.

January 25, 2020 - Still big backbone, dark fruit on the bouquet and palate. Medium finish. Still 5-10 years of life.

December 13, 2018 - This is aging surprising well. 30 minutes of air did wonders and continued to change (for the better) for the duration of its existence. Didn’t expect the level of tannin that showed up on the back end, but pair with good and you’re golden.
