December 27, 2023 - Dark red fruit, tobacco and licorice unfurl in the glass to deliver this modern styled brunello. Somewhat on the bold side without going to far. Good juice.

Opened onsite, slow O'd for 90+ minutes before we got around to this. Consumed over 2 courses and 45 minutes. Black cherry, fresh cut herbs, some dusty road components and add in come violets and potpourri. Nicely integrated at this point.
Last of 3 for me. For those of you still holding some I'd venture to say 5 to 7 years left...easily. -

December 6, 2023 - Drinking in a perfect place right now. Nose still the low point of the wine. Flavor is great. Soft integrated tannins. Fruit starting to just begin to dry. I don’t feel this will go past 2025. Drink up.

October 8, 2023 - A nice wine but strikes me as lacking seriousness. Very light, to me it's too light for BdM. Drinks great, fun, no hard edges. Not flawed, I just think that's what was done that year. No regrets but I definitely would not seek this out.
