April 27, 2018 - Great spot. Leathery for first 20 min but with some air in decanter more blood and iron started to show, then with another 30 min more red fruits, dried prune and other elements. Still touch of tannins on finish. Never all quite cohered but delicious all the same. Drink now with hour in decanter to wake up.

April 26, 2017 - This is probably close to peaking right now...still ample fruit but all the secondary and tertiary flavors are in full effect! Delicious.

December 9, 2016 - Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (I Nonni, St. Paul, MN): I believe the words I used were: "This is holy crap corked." As in holy crap, this is REALLY corked. A shame.

September 3, 2016 - PnP. Kork kom ut hel, knapt gjennomtrukket nederst, antagelig stående lagring. Topp fyllnivå også. Murstein farge i kanten, granatrød i midten. Tjære, båthus, tobakk, bringebær og lakris i nesen. Pen fruktsødme som moden vin får, flott syre holder munnfølelsen i sjakk. Mot bringebær og nyper. Pent nedslipte tanniner. God ettersmak. En nytelse fra A til Å med sopprisotto. Ingen antydning til kollaps over 2 timer, strålende flaske!

June 19, 2016 - Served for pizza night in Tubingen. Lovely stuff, but we didn't give it enough air to do it justice. I love aged Produttori, and the 85 Montestefano is a treat. Next time, though, I will decant it in the morning for service in the evening.
