March 27, 2021 - Sublime bottle. Double decanted for sediment at breakfast time and the cork seemed fine but the bottle a bit muted. Left to breath in a cool part of my cellar and then decanted into a wide-bottom flask perhaps two hours before serving. Lifted, soaring, spicy aromatics. Still a bit grippy around the edges, the the sort of tannins associated with a warmer vintage. Superb typicity on the palate, winter spices, reddish notes of iron and clay perhaps. Wonderfully expressive of all of the distinct notes of this terroir. An excellent bottle in a superb place. Delivered all I could ask for and then a bit more... and continues to make me wonder what Il Maestro did with the 01 Asili, which seems to be a very different wine. Very grateful to experience this wine last night. (And excellent pairing with lamb shanks braised with cinnamon, coriander, cumin and juniper berry) Perfect wine for a festive Passover meal
