Popped this for an hour before raising the glass. Coincidentally the same Italian restaurant. Remembered it to be more enjoyable the first time though I do believe we paired it wrongly with the food. Not giving up.

See previous notes. This is now my staple wine. Young but so enjoyable after a two hour aeration in bottle. Fat, dense, with dark fruits and sophisticated structure. Will see how the 2020 compares to the 18s.

See previous notes this is very young but so hard to resist. Dark ruby color, lots of dark red berries, cherries, liquid stone, Vosne spices. On the palate very vivid, mineral, raspberries and dark red fruit, expands mid palate, still tannic and finishes fat and long. Lovely now I can only imagine how it will be in 15 years if my stock lasts.

See previous notes. Such a delicious medium bodied to full bodied wine with rich opulent black and dark red berries, lots of earthiness and leather as this bottle was decanted, notes of stone and pepper on the long gamey finish.

So young but lovely. Opened bottles and left standing to aerate for three hours. Perfumed red berries, lots of stone and mineral notes, some gaminess, finishes fat and long.
