January 23, 2022 - Surprisingly good. Dusty but smooth. Needed several hours —can still benefit for another 2 years. But everyone likes it.

November 26, 2021 - Fully mature and drinking great now. This was a pop n pour and it really didn’t need decanting. Mature and ready for business. Consumed in one of the weirdest places to drink a Brunello… Burundi Africa.
