March 6, 2024 - Dark fruit nose. Gunpowder? Lot’s of strawberry. Exceptional etherealness already. My second place at the evening - like a Grand Cru Burgundy. 95+ for now.

November 29, 2023 - A harmonious, balanced red, this sets the stage perfectly for the cherry, strawberry, floral, iron and tobacco flavors. Fresh and detailed, with a linear profile and refined structure driving the seemingly endless finish. Superb.

October 12, 2023 - Rich and majestic with reference aromas that give ultimate pleasure with lovely cherries, crushed stone, lovely foliage and spices that give soul to the aromas. Nice full-bodied, energetic and really fresh wine that takes you in from the very first moment! The fruit shines brilliantly with spreading cherries, light orange fruit, graphite, herbs and spices in all their glory. A bit thin in the middle? Well, it contributes to the wine being experienced as linear and refined. The acidity delivers world-class freshness. Perfect tannins that just spread their tough joy - as it should be. Wonderful balance all the way through. Insanely long finish. This is one of a kind. Time stops. This makes the senses really sharpen. See, listen and taste. Just want more. And more. That's how a rederance wine should be. Oh yes! We want Biondi Santi into the 100 point club!
