  November 18, 2023 - Decanted and enjoyed with a pepperoni pizza. Very good, but still a bit on the early side. Chewy, unresolved tannin and grainy oak distract. The ingredients are there, but more time will benefit this wine longer term. Drink now with decanting and food or hold for another 1-2 years. Drink through 2032+.

  October 15, 2023 - In the middle between a Chianti and a Brunello. More complex than a Chianti but not as round as a Brunello, still a great wine. On the nose it has sour cherry, liquorice, plumb and currant. Some smoke, chocolate and eucalyptus. It has a good finish and acidity.

  August 18, 2023 - Needs a bit of air, will open up after more than 1 Hr. Still a very nice full bodied, mid-high acidity and lively tannins interpretation of Sangiovese.
  More on the earthy notes than on the furity side, but very enjoyable.
