  April 26, 2024 - Too early. Drank over two days. On day 1 it was very shy on the nose. On the palate medium to light body with sour cherries coming through. Medium + acidity and grippy tannins. On day 2, it was a bit more relaxed and complimented pasta with fennel sausage and tomato sauce quite well. However, I don’t think I’ll be buying again - there is Chianti at half the price doing the same job.

  April 6, 2024 - Light garnet red. reduction and funk on the nose for this bottle, definite red crunchy fruit behind, cherry and forest floor. Taste is similar, there's a funk to it, crunchy red berries, violets, earthiness and a tinge of black fruit. Good but not exceptional . Did enjoy the Cohiba Siglio II with it though.

  March 24, 2024 - Red fruit, herbs, touch of balsamic, leather, tar. High acid with fine tannins to balance it out. Definitely worthy of Bangarang status. Day 2 it was even better.
