  Consistent with previous notes only more pronounced cherry blossoms on the nose with more specific savory notes on the palate and finish, including pipe tobacco, dried leather, dill, and smoked meat. Still very sweet with a nice core of cherries and blackberries, with good body and energy, while the finish is still tannic. Drink 2020-2026. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Classic Brunello, however this bottle seemed ‘thin’.

  Medium Dark red with clear edges. Earthy dark cherry fruit with some cedar box, spice and tobacco. Delicious aged Sangiovese flavours and a slightly tannic dry finish.
  
  Sadly my last bottle.

  Medium red. Soft nose of black cherry, earth, beef stock and exotic spices. Leathery dark fruit flavours and a decent balanced finish.
  
  I decanted this for and hour and then left it in the bottle for 2 hours before it's turn came. It was actually better when first decanted.

  Opened and drank with burgers and potatoes. Dark ruby color with a crimson hue. Overall, consistent with previous notes but slightly more refined. Not ambitious but not a slacker either. Technical score: 91. Enjoyment score: 90.
