April 28, 2024 - Wow. What a wine! Had this with a Ribeye and it was truly outstanding. The aromas are of plum, black cherry with some herbs. This is dark in color with high acidity and smooth tannins. The flavors are of blackberry, black raspberry and dark chocolate on an incredible lengthy finish. This is just entering its primary drinking window and will stay that way for a while.

December 25, 2022 - Structured with dark fruit and anise. Unfolds and changes. A class act and fine wine.

November 5, 2022 - The Nearly Annual Lyon 10 Year Retro Tasting #24, Wines of Washington (Lyon Again, Eugene, OR): This was somehow familiar, but I haven't bought Leonetti in 15 years (Thanks Joe/Kyla for this one). Great texture, but on a very solid base. Currants, black plum, coffee, earth/ stone, and oak that linger like a political ad (but this was pleasant!). 95+ down to 93+ on day 2. Now- 2027.

June 11, 2022 - Drank with Reverse Seared NY Strip steaks cooked over post oak & lump charcoal.
Dark fruit, velvety tannins, lush mouthfeel. Notes of cedar, earth & smoke. Long finish. Drinking beautifully. -

April 17, 2022 - Enjoyed at a family Easter cookout with grilled Fajitas, etc. Nicely balanced, great fruit concentration, lengthy finish, and lots of complexity. Drinking really well at this juncture.
