  March 10, 2023 - Wow... always looking to find another top decile BdM (after the Soldera tragedy took those bottles from $175 to $750)... this may be in the hunt... great umami / spice / light earth flavors abound with the fruit solidly hanging in the background, this was full bodied (rarely say that about a red from my cellar)... should last at least another 10-15 years... mmmmmmm good, I'm betting my 95 score puts it in the top 3-4% of my reviews... too bad I paid $220 for this, but I've got to say it is at least a fair QPR

  February 8, 2023 - This is quite a bit softer than the '06, which I love. Showed fennel, roses, licorice, well-balanced and easy drink, but did not wow me. Gave it a 3 hour decant and it needed it.

  January 22, 2023 - Good stuff here; the nose initially showed damp earth and a hint of funk, but then opened to show lovely red fruits, mint, fennel, forest floor, a hint of mushroom, and dried floral notes. The palate is still quite robust and big, but maintains its harmony and never feels heavy or dull. Good acidity, still with decent amount of tannins. If you like wines with more tertiary development this has plenty to give, however if you prefer fruit probably should drink sooner rather than later.

  January 1, 2023 - 2023 New Year's Day Blind Tasting (Marietta, GA): See through crimson, cloudy; stronger VA, sexy but sweet, unique and exotic, high toned, Burg-esque; delicious and fantastic in a style I really like; 2010 Rosso del Beppi?

  January 1, 2023 - 2023 New Year's Day Double Blind Tasting: Served double blind. This was a very confusing wine to me. It wants to be Italian, but there is a creamy sweetness on the almost overripe finish. I couldn't get over the sweetness which is why I couldn't call it. I wrote down new world Pinot only because I had to call the ball on something. I hope this comes around to its true character with more time in bottle.
