January 3, 2024 - Raspberry liquor with pencil lead, earthy minerals, and a whiff of flowers. Dark ripe fruits, with dusty tannins, a suave mouthfeel, and a long, herbaceous, bitter finish. The pencil lead and herbal notes are unusually elevated for a priorato. Still youthful for a twenty-year-old wine. Very nice for a second picking bottling. This bottle could have gone at least another handful of years, but it appears to be at peak maturity today.

October 1, 2022 - Deep ruby. Restrained nose of thyme, bramble and a bit of soil. I had two. I drank the last bottle in about 2014. It was drinking well then, and it’s drinking well now and probably could go another 5 years at least. Zero fruit on the nose but in the mouth dark berry balances the herbal undertones. Long finish, somewhat bitter and tannic but energetic and pleasant. Northern rhone feel to this one. Some nod to the new world style but what it lacks in balance it makes up for in energy.

March 31, 2021 - This bottle was markedly better than my last about a year ago. This was what I was hoping for to go with a lighter meal. Red fruited and lively from its acidity. There was some subtle earthiness and had a bright finish. Nice!

March 9, 2021 - this is so good. ...aromas of blackberry, plum, spice, cedar, leather, graphite. palate pops with some lively tart red fruit. some earthy and mineral flavours too as well as a pleasant subtle sweetness. very nice acidity and tannin through mid palate and finish respectively. everything seems to be in perfect balance. lovely long finish.
