May 21, 2024 - Tasted vis-a-vis the 2019, this seems lighter now, elegant, fruity, chalky, vertical; much more approachable.

May 4, 2024 - Wine Spectator Grand Tour (Las Vegas, NV): This Brunello is produced only in the best vintages, being sourced entirely from the 29-acre Pianrosso vineyard. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and concrete vats, it was then aged for 36 months in used Slavonian oak foudres of varying sizes. Medium-to-deep garnet in color, it flaunts an intense bouquet of red currants, dark plums, blood oranges, pickling spice, cocoa, violets and loamy earth. Medium-bodied, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%) and with lively acids, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, wrapping them with plentiful plush tannins and a modicum of wood. Layered on the mid-palate and lengthy on the back end, this is an absolute delight to drink. It should reach its twentieth birthday with grace. Drink now-2038.

April 27, 2024 - Decanted for 3 hours. Very good wine with coffee, dark berries, cocoa and some herbs. Fresh, rich and full of life.

March 30, 2024 - Viss antydan till VA. Rätt stalligt i överhand. Solmogen frukt som domineras av jordgubbar och körsbär.
Fylls väldigt fint i munnen där frukten står i centrum med körsbärskärnor, mandel och jordgubbar och avslutas med drag av tjära. Sammetslena tanniner och en relativt komplex upplevelse och fin längd.

January 6, 2024 - Perfumed nose and chunky cherry on palate. Balanced and tart with depth. Delicious. Drink now or hold for further development.
