March 9, 2024 - Very pale colour, a bit more vibrant than the Via Nuova 2008. Light, delicate aroma - fine red cherry with dried flower, leaf. Shows some sweet spice too, perhaps from barrique. Smells less mature than Via Nuova 08 tasted at same time. Fresh palate - fine fruit still with some primary notes, alongside savoury. Super elegant, refined tannin. Could age for longer. In a nice balanced place. Very subtle and fine.

November 19, 2023 - Barolo and Truffle dinner (Flat 9): In a really good place, with no hard corners and the wood almost entirely absorbed by the fruit, leaving only some vestigial spice (which went superbly with the food). Cool, poised and dark-toned, with vibrant acidity and that je ne sais quoi that really delicious wine often has. Everyone seemed to enjoy this a lot.

May 20, 2023 - Bien d'accord avec Dionysos 1920 sur la complexité de ce vin. En plus des notes déjà décrites, j'y ai perçu de mon côte du balsamique, de la graine de céleri, de l'aneth, de la truffe et de la rose rouge. La couleur était encore bien foncée mais un peu brouillée.
La bouteille ouverte hier était mature. À ce moment où se pose la question "aurait-il été meilleur bu plus tôt"? Possiblement, mais ce début de vieillesse m'a beaucoup plût dans ce cas. Les tannins étaient fondus et l'acidité à point. Une bien belle bouteille!
Basé sur cette expérience, je serais porté à boire rapidement mes bouteilles restantes si j'en avais. -

July 1, 2022 - Couleur légèrement évoluée, nez floral, sous-bois, liquoreux, fumé et épicé, alcool encore dominant mais avec une superbe complexité aromatique, bouche sur les agrumes, la fraise, tannins encore très présents mais sans agressivité, un tout grand vin, frais et puissant, déjà irrésistible aujourd’hui mais avec un tout beau potentiel dans un millésime qui se révèle probablement bien meilleur qu’annoncé au moment de sa sortie.

April 26, 2021 - Saw the recent notes, thought I’d open this instead of waiting. Maybe there’s major bottle variation, but my experience was very different. Medium bodied, cinnamon, maraschino cherry, chalk, sour patch kids, finish lasts forever. This beauty is nowhere near its shelf life, just entering its early drinking window. Loads of dead tannins at the bottom of the bottle, didn’t have the opportunity to decant/filter before drinking. Hold.
