  Shared with Seattle wine group tasting. Possibly the wine of the night but was consumed (quickly) by the group prior to the formal tasting. Delicious and still fresh, young tasting. This one has decades to go.

  Really beautiful and should drink well for next 5-10 years at least. The Cabernet in the blend keeps everything in check and I agree with some earlier notes that blind this could feel like an extremely well-made Cali cab. A bit less ripe but otherwise all the elements are there and it does feel a bit more new world. Really tasty even though not perhaps the most classic representation (IMO) of a BDX blend from Tuscany.

  Didn’t decant , poured 2 small glasses and swirled the bottle . Good nose, texture and taste from the start. Finishes as good as it starts. Paired with pasta and red sauce very nicely. It could easily stand up to a ribeye.

  Beautiful purple with a hint of brown. No tanin. Drinking very well and should keep easily 5-7yrs.

  Too good! It just jumps out the decanter from the start, you know it's something special, immediately. One of those wines that both new world leaning and old world snobs (guilty) equally appreciate. In a beautiful spot right now - secondary iron/blood/Tuscan slightly underripe tomato things starting to grab the mic from the dark, dense and pure fruits of youth. Nice balance of both. Still sightly wound up at first sip but started singing an hour or so in and for the next two, then slight possible decline... but if you haven't drank most all of it by then, that's on you! Cheers.
