January 30, 2021 - I agree with the previous note. Same bottle. This was sound but not particularly compelling. Light red tones, a tad roasted and muddled, with a little nail polish. Drinkable, but I’ve had better young Produttori crus. May just be this particular bottle, though.

January 29, 2021 - Seems correct but not a great example. Roasted dried plums and tarry notes. Rather muddled and undefined. Still some tannin on the palate and into the finish. Probably heat damaged.

March 13, 2015 - decanted, pnp, colours light brick, slightly burned in the nose, not the age, rather the hot vintage. must have been better a couple years ago, years past it's prime but still ok to drink.
