Popped, poured, consumed over next 60 minutes. Wonderful fragrance, which I kept sniffing for pure enjoyment and the show continued on the palate. This performed brilliantly from the first sip and still developed in the glass. Fabulous complexity and balance, but the real magic is how it pulls off the feat of amplitude without weight.

This wine was rich, balanced wine with beautiful dark fruit, finesse and smoothness, mouth coating (in the very best sense) and a long, lovely finish. It was enjoyed by everyone.

Very similar to the notes from our last bottle of this 6 years ago. Decanted 90 min. Big, mouthfilling, full of flavor, no sign of fading at all. Great with duck pappardelle for christmas dinner. The finish was short compared to an excellent bottle of brunello we had the night before, but otherwise terrific. No rush to drink our remaining bottles.

3 hour decant- very fruit forward but surprisingly well balanced. For most I’m guessing this is in its prime but Id like to wait another decade before trying again.

Excellent. Lots of upfront fruit, well blended tannins. Everyone enjoyed. Wish I had more.
