  January 26, 2022 - Nez bien fondu, bel arôme mais pas d odeur spécifique. Malgré son âge pas d arôme tertiaire. En bouche, tout en rondeur, moyennement corsé, bien équilibré et belle longueur. Tres belle ténue pour un vin de 32 ans

  August 22, 2019 - My last and best bottle of this wine. Slow ox for one and half hours. This is still dark garnet. It has a great nose of black current, saddle leather and herbs with a touch of rusticity. The palate is full bodied with black plums, leather, tobacco and oak finishinga coming through into a medium and somewhat four square finish. Overall this is a very competent lovely brunello at age 29 with still five to ten years ahead of it.
