November 18, 2023 - Will clearly stay at 93 this is my last magnum from the 2008 anniversary wine - this is a great wine such a great balance - can only repeat my rating from august 2022 - you do sense that the fruit is more mature - but the picture is the same happy to stay at very solid 93.

December 31, 2022 - Served after a two hour decant.
Really nice, WOTN.
If I have had more bottles, which I don't, I could drink now with pleasure but also save a couple of years more. -

November 8, 2022 - A clear improvement to my last anniversary magnum - this is much more what I was expecting - a great balance and freshness - lots of fruit - cherries and blackberries - we are also getting chocolate and leather - also spices - we are increasing our rating to a very sold 93 - this was a great wine and what you could expect from an anniversary wine.

October 31, 2022 - I opened this two hours early, but didn't decant. It was still quite tannic, so a full decant might have been better, but it was very tasty regardless. Moderate acidity, high intensity, strong chocolate character, beautiful accompaniment for roast lamb.

March 19, 2022 - This is a magnum - special edition released in 2018 - It is a nice Brunello - you are getting lots of fruit - it is drinking very nicely - the fruit is cherries and blackberries - the wine has a sense of sweetness - I am also getting some chocolate - tannins and acidity are both medium - balance is fine - being a 10 years anniversary note I had expected more - we are ending on 92.
