April 27, 2024 - SangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): Yet another generous soul allowed me to check in on this without opening a bottle of my own (I write this every time I get to try this wine -- ha!). It's a wine of pure potential right now. Meaty and dense, with a Bordeaux-like stern structure that is quite unyielding at the moment. Leathery tannins, but firm enough that even a few hours couldn't soften the structure here. This will be much more interesting with at least a further decade.

April 10, 2024 - This had the usual reserved start for Biondi, where I was at maximum 95p (I know complaining on very high levels🤣)
With 4-5h of air in the bottle got more and more gentle on the tannins.
Ripe forest strawberry, cherry, underbrush, plenty of quality tannins, long finish.
I would leave this alone for at least 5 more years, maybe 10. I expect it to shine then!
2029 - 2045
97p++
Thanks so much @Riaan for this great contribution!2 people found this helpful Comment -

February 12, 2024 - Really nice, but early. Feels like it needs more time to develop – sort of in between phases right now, so a bit confounding, but so so promising. Totally enjoyable at the moment...
