    April 16, 2023 - Popped n poured last nite at Norma & Victor's. Cherries, leather & earth on the nose. Light to medium bodies, tart cherry and currant on the palate. Solid acidic core, no tannins apparent, and oak is hardly noticeable. Fairly long finish. More acid than fruit. Enjoyable but, at least on this nite, the wine seems no more than a glorified chianti.

    November 8, 2021 - Pergole Torte lunch (Chicago, IL): While this is by no means a bad wine, it didn't live up to the potential and potency of the others in the flight. This strongly reminds me of the 2008 red Burgundy vintage, with its bright red fruits and heavy perfume, but that also carries through to the relatively thin palate and high acidity. For me, this had the least potential of further aging, and revisiting this wine later on also did not yield great results.

    May 11, 2020 - Popped the cork and let it open up in the bottle for about 2.5 hours before enjoying with a T-bone off the grill; grilled asparagus with miso butter and home made french fries. Nose was very pretty upon opening, and you could taste the sunny Tuscan summer of '08 very clearly. Velvety, soft tannins made this super easy to drink though seemingly thinner than other vintages of this wine. A great wine for sure but not intended for much in the way of a long cellar life. I only have one '08 and think now is an ideal time to drink it. No upside from here but would probably keep for a little longer. The color started out bright but muddied/browned out at about hour 4.
