Trade tasting, brief note. Starting with the 2019, this is Twardowski's third wine, from his own vineyards in the Dhron Hofberg. Much lighter than the Ardoise, clearly young vines, slightly lactic, ever so slightly on the dry side.

tasting, brief note. Marvellous wine, immediately convincing, open and aromatic, creamy but with a firmer structure than the 2017, everything in the right place, excellent potential.

Trade tasting, brief note. Magnum. Pure and filigree style like the Ardoise, bright and precise fruit, more structure and oak, more power and concentration but does not feel pushed, very good resonance and length. Needs time to integrate and harmonise, if it does it should have 93-94 point potential.

Trade tasting, brief note. More warmth and generosity than the 2016, hint of currants, recognisable house style, classical but not rustic, energetic, minerally, slightly light finish.

Trade tasting, brief note. Difficult vintage, but drinking well now, spicy, firm tannins, grippy, needs food.

Trade tasting, brief note. More amenable in style than Mastrojanni, but no less characteristic. Quite warm in style but not too alcoholic (14% ABV), velvety tannins, very good persistence.

Trade tasting, brief note. Perfectly classical Brunello, perfectly classical 2016, just as it should be, perfectly formed.

Trade tasting, brief note. Generous, lovely depth and warmth, gradevole, power and elegance, good stuffing of blue and black fruit, real drive and length.
