March 26, 2023 - It was a good wine, but the general flavor profile did not take me to Brunello. Solid structure and still somewhat brooding. Ripe plum and black berries along with secondary flavors.

Le vin est d’une jeunesse insolante sur ce millésime plutôt solaire
Au nez, Une tonne de vanille, du fruit un brin cuit, le vin est grandement marqué par l’élevage
La bouche n’est guère plus fraîche avec un coup de poing au visage de 999 points …prune, sa reglisse et son cuir
C’est long, beaucoup de matière, j’ai même du enlever quelques échardes sur ma langue
Un drôle de vin… un côté prune/cuit qui fait vieux mais une matière et une vivacité tellement jeune -

January 13, 2021 - Definite browning, granite in colour. Aromas show earth, tar, liquorice, dried berry fruits, and a heavy deep plumminess.
Acids in decline but still good. Dusty, chalky and creamy mouthfeel, drying chalky tannins. Flavours follow the aromas.
Longish finish. Tasty but took a full couple of hours to fully open up. -
