  April 13, 2024 - Decanted for two and half hours prior to tasting.
  Medium ruby color; dark raspberry nose.
  Lots of intense dark fruit; blackberry, plum, black cherry. Well-structured; with firm tannins that are built for the long haul. Rich tertiary flavors of tobacco, leather, and Tuscan dust. Almost Bordeaux-like in intensity, it is all balanced out by lively acidity.
  
  This one is still a bit young. Revisit in a few years

  December 6, 2023 - This rancia Very backwards the first two days were drinking. Lots of structure, somewhat linear in the pallet and the nose the first little bit here, mostly just soar cherry. On day three things started to open up a good amount. Cherry, some red fruit, earthy, and herbaceous notes. This was still drinking pretty good day . This thing has a long ways to go, but I honestly wouldn’t drink it now. It was a good To open one for science though.

  October 22, 2023 - Decanted. Medium, dark-garnet with clarity. Aromas of steeped red cherry & red apple skin, tea leaves, fresh hibiscus and nutmeg. Sour cherry and pomegranate flavors, dried herb, sandalwood and earth depth. Refined balance up front but slightly fading through the palate. Medium-plus acid, billowy round tannins, dry juicy finish, short to medium length. It tastes good, but is underwhelming structurally. Struggled to stand up to a Bolognese pairing. Drink now or hold, doesn’t need decanting.

  October 20, 2023 - More tannins. Smokey medium bodied
  
  Was great but didn’t hold up to the super Tuscan greppicaia. Which was fuller bodied.
  
  Would def have again on its own
