Hardly any discolouration. Got better and better with time in the decanter as the evening went on. Ripe red and black fruit, notes of exotic spices, coffee, herbs, floral notes. Lots of generous fruit on the palate as well, ripe tannins, nice acidity towards the persistent finish. The alcohol is well integrated. Drink or keep. 92-94

Annual Pilgrimage to Piedmont - 2022 Edition; 10/14/2022-10/16/2022 (Piedmont, Italy): Young but well mannered, proper super Tuscan feel here, good ripeness , good use of oak and very much a big wine without being heavy. Well made and silky and we felt that albeit very solid it was still on the young side and a touch one dimensional given the fruit was still at the forefront and needs time. We like this wine a lot in general and just this needs more time. 91 for now but with lots of promise

Serious wine, but it‘s past its prime (or the bottle was not well stored, I only bought it a year ago).

Tasted like a ripe, fine super-second quality claret, but no it's a super tuscan. Tannic. Ripe, but not at all overdone. Super
