November 5, 2023 - Really nice, smooth and delicious. Drinking very well right now. Decanted and aerated a couple hours before drinking - no sediment in this bottle.

April 2, 2021 - Dark color, started out quite tannic but opened up nicely, good fruit with slightly rough tannins, slight dried fruit taste, complex with lots of flavor, lots of sediment so I would decant, drank with Tuscan T-bone steak with baked potato, would drink again but last bottle, a good aged wine.

April 18, 2020 - Slow ox for six hours then double decanted for two. Not a lot of fruit, somewhat dry tannins, rustic and a little hot. That said, when paired with Blue Runner New Orleans-style red beans and rice it was a very nice complement. So, good food wine but not really great on its own. Would recommend drinking up if you have any.

January 4, 2020 - Dark color, dark fruit, good tannins and acid. Took a day to open up and show its complexity. No age whatsoever apparent, will keep for years!

December 22, 2018 - Very similar note to 4 years ago. This is a very dark color, big barbaresco with dark fruits, bramble, tar, sweet and sour cherries. It smooth and easy to drink, but somewhat uncharacteristic for the region.
