  Slow-oxed for 12 hours upon into Lucaris Bordeaux glass (“Fruit” day): Pale bright ruby to the eyes.
  
  Ruby cherry fruits like Morello cherries that is highly detailed, mushrooms, dried herbs, savoury and leafy spices. Really good spectrum of secondary / tertiary notes. With time some more rose petals.
  
  Highly structured with tons of acidity, minerality.
  
  94 points.
  
  3 hours upon first serving into Zalto Burgundy glass: white peppery and leafy spices, luxurious set of morello cherries, really awesome spectrum of flavours on palate.
  
  94-95 points.

  Incredible conditions. 8 hours bottle breathing prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
  
  Razor sharp focus on nose with signature sour red cherries with superb details, dusty notes.
  
  Superb fine boned and high acidity here, good minerality indeed, this is very refreshing. Quite dusty too. Good length to the nice sour red cherry finish.
  
  94-95 points.
  
  2 hours upon serving (10 hours upon first opened): Fruit is up with quite ripe red fruits, but on palate this is starting to past peak. Enjoy now.

  BYO Italian Wines (Enomania): The wine is translucent but still very red in color which really surprised me.
  The nose is classic aged Brunello with touches of red currants mixed with iron and earthiness.
  Flavors are red currants, juicy cherry and just a little touch of age like leather and mushrooms. However, the wine is still extremely young and fresh and just so surprisingly good. Tannins are well integrated and the acidity is mouth-watering and piercing.
  Truly an impressive bottle and a wonderful experience to taste this historical wine.
