April 17, 2024 - Decanted for more than a hour.
Absolutely incredible. Nice color.
Notes of cherry blossom.
Long finish, still very tannic.
I think this will be amazing in five years.

October 6, 2023 - Opened for 1 hour. Color is fairly deep ruby for a Brunello. Orange rim showing age. On the nose: Forest floor funk, cherry, rose and tar. On the palate: Cherry, rose, strawberry, baking spices and bit of tar. Loads of tannins. Good length. This wine has a lot of years left. It’s very elegant and well made.

May 20, 2023 - Sangiovese study, Volume II (Chicago, IL): This was double decanted around lunchtime, which I felt introduced more air than necessary, as the fruit was starting to show a little bit of oxidation, and the tannins seemed to feel like they were clamping down rather than loosening up. But overall I do like the red fruit profile here and think that this is a wine with very good long-term potential.

November 21, 2021 - Rolling Stones pre-concert party bus (Austin): First time trying the Riserva. Had green and woodsy flavors that I like. Surely a Brunello built for long aging, unlike many.
