  July 1, 2023 - Another one to get ready for a slew of exploration and tastings in Valpolicella next weekend. This was an absolute beauty. Aged to perfection. Some actually preferred this to the Dal Forno tasted alongside! Opened with a Durand (and this was necessary). No decant or any aeration work necessary for Day 1. Great notes of cigar, pencil shavings, dried berries and light raisin. Then had some left for Day 2 (kept in the cellar in-between) and, to my surprise, was actually more open and even better. Some more expressive tertiary notes and more dried berries, followed by what I can only describe as a warm embrace in front of a fire. Absolutely delicious and will definitely be visiting this estate while out in Valpolicella.
