My final SO2 readings and notes for Memorie II are:
10ppm free on 12/28/2020 - I added 25ppm
22ppm free on 3/1/2021 - I added 12ppm
24ppm free on 3/13/2021 - I added 10ppm
I haven't opened a bottle of this since this was a current release in mid 2021. Again, I am sorry to hear the free sulfur reduced enjoyment for you. -

Ever since I got Covid in March 2020, I've been very sensitive to sulfur - somewhat in the aroma but very much so in taste. I would encourage folks who have bottles to enjoy them, as I'm probably an outlier.
