Clear dark red with clear edges. Mid weight aged Sangiovese nose, plums, black cherry, dried mushrooms and a hint of spice. Dry black cherry flavours and a dry resolved finish.

This was full of bright red fruit. The age has taken a toll and perhaps drinking past its prime. I had the 99 two weeks ago and that was outstanding with much more Brunello finesse and tighter structure. This just tasted much more mature as if it was a bottle with 10 more years of age. Furthermore, that tasted like an elegant Brunello. This was like a Barbaresco with age. I suppose that’s what makes it all fun! Lovely wine regardless.

First bottle of 2024, this is drinking great. Nice structure, plenty of tertiary notes, dark red fruit, leather, dried leaves. Excellent bottle.

Lovely Brunello, perhaps a little over the hill as all the elements are fully integrated but still a nice experience. 90-91 in this night.
