October 7, 2023 - Very slightly oxidized. Cerbaiona is really a crapshoot. Was a disappointment but not a undrinkable wine.

October 6, 2023 - Birthday dinner with good wine friends: Perfect appearance on the cork without seepage but unfortunately it was still flawed. Drinkable but obvious signs of oxidation and plummy notes. I was really willing this to show well as Cerbaionas can be magical, but unfortunately my hit rate hasn’t been great.

June 16, 2023 - Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Airy and juicy cherry fruit with a weightless feel despite being very intense and so much flavor.
It is difficult to imagine how a wine can be so intense while still maintaining this level of elegance and refinement.
This is a benchmark wine that could easily get the perfect score on any given day. Absolutely stunning! -

May 20, 2023 - Sangiovese study, Volume II (Chicago, IL): I am pretty sure this was the bottle that started my Cerbaiona obsession. It was my favourite in the flight, with a dark-fruited, perfumed nose showing just a slight bit of volatility and an intense smoky quality as well. On the palate, this is more resolved than the 2006 (which I also very much liked), so I found it more enjoyable to drink right now.
