January 24, 2024 - Well balanced, silky and developed still some grippy tanins. Red fruits and all mountain-herbs and spices you can wish for!

May 21, 2023 - Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. Complex & intense, made with 100% passito Chiavennasca from higher altitude vineyards in the Inferno, Grumello and Valgella subzones. Med+ to deep ruby w/ a garnet hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry, black plum, dried figs, candied flowers, medicinal, aromatic herbs, earth, mocha, & sweet baking spices (from 18-24 mos in French oak). Dry, but fruit forward, w/ a rich and rounded mouthfeel. The tannins are still med+ after 12 yrs. High alcohol (16%) but well integrated and unobtrusive. The med+ acidity counterbalances the richness of the fruit, alcohol and extract. Full-bodied, intensely-flavored, w/ a remarkably long balsam and licorice finish, yet manages to be quite balanced and elegant. Has at least least another 2-3 years of aging potential.
