  January 27, 2024 - I've never tried these so wanted to pop one young and get a sense of for the wine.
  (5/5) - color is a gorgeous dark ruby red.
  (12/15) - A bit one dimensional even after being open a few hours. Tar, olive, licorice. Fruit and any spice seemed to really be hiding
  (17/20) - This is where it was most clear this was opened too young. Ripping tannin, acidity in balance but still noticeable. Carried very earthy notes of tobacco, tar, olive again, dark fruit.
  (7/10) - I'm not sure I immediately get the allure but it is still a fantastic wine that will absolutely improve with a couple decades and more of longevity ahead of it. Will try not to open another until 2030.

  January 7, 2024 - Obviously drank before the optimal drinking window, it was already quite enjoyable, especially on day 2.
  Dark fruit, interesting herbs (thyme, mint), some bacon and bloody red meat come through within the bouquet.
  On the palate it is quite mouth coating with powerful but fine tannins, they were better integrated on day 2.
  This score is for right now, but I expect this wine to gain 2-3 points in 5-10 years since it has undeniable tons of potential.

  June 5, 2023 - Again, stunning wine for the (now) Italian price of 55 Euros. Again, I opened this so young, but it's still a treat. Still have three more bottles. Hold on to it!
