    March 8, 2024 - This was a rich, dark, almost brooding Brunello. Starting to show some age but was in a great spot now. Red cherry, plum, leather. Drink now to 2031.

    April 5, 2023 - Enjoyable bottle of Brunello. Tasty and fully mature. This was kind of dark and brooding initially with lots of mint, damp earth, dark fruit, licorice, and floral notes. With air it freshens up and the fruit becomes a bit more red and the floral notes seem brighter. Seems pretty mature on the palate with good density and balance. Still some tannic structure and definitely better with food. Good stuff that has a ways to go in terms of enjoyable drinking.

    February 14, 2023 - A mature bottle of this wine, that after 10-15 minutes of air, was singing a harmonious Valentine's Day duet with our wonderful (restaurant) Lasagna Bolognese. The decant allowed the wine to darken and open, while separating some sediment. The color was a medium violet to a faded rim. The nose yielded dark red fruit, earth and touches of cedar and leather. The medium bodied (and smooth) palate showed lots of spice, red cherry, dried cherry, and earth. The acidity was juicy but balancing and there was just a hint of tannin on the finish. I would imagine that this wine has several more years ahead of it but is beginning to show some evidence of its 16+ year age.

    March 6, 2022 - A modern yet pretty example of a Brunello, enough acidity to tell you what it is, plenty of red cherry fruit, some old world characteristics but some
    warmth and a silky mouthfeel that had one blind taster think it was something from Napa. Still very good but better examples can be found at a more reasonable price.
