April 28, 2024 - This wine is my archilles heel. I chanced upon their youtube video and i was really impressed by the entire short documentary. And the fact ferregamo bought it, the fact they got 99 points by JS plus its situated on a majestic mountaintop. I rem as i poured out the wine, i remember a nice swirling consistentence and a colour that beams. But alas as i took the first gulp and then second gulp, i was abit taken aback that the taste really came across as just normal…. Nothing out of the spectrum and i wasn’t floored by the experience and needless to say i struggled with understanding how it got 99 points? Not here to throw rocks because i actually bought 4 more bottles of 2015 and 3 more 2016 subsequently to probably convince myself otherwise? Hence i am curious does anyone have any similar experience like me? Or what am i actually missing out?

April 11, 2024 - Clean modern lines approaching maturity. Teak, tart cherry, strawberry, rose, leather, charcoal. Probably five years from peak but drinking great now with a little air. The charcoal really adds a nice bass note.
