  March 27, 2024 - Decanted one hour before consuming with Italian sausage hoagies with marinara sauce. A lush fair dark ruby in the glass with color extending out to thinning edges; no bricking. The nose beckons with black currant, balsamic, leather, tobacco with an overall slightly oxidized note. In other words, PERFECT for my palate (and my partner's). Very good concentration and intensity. This was absolutely savoury and dry. Super pairing with the dish and very happy to have one bottle remaining. Should be good for another 5 or so years. Would like to source more bottles of this vintage if able. Fabulous!

  March 21, 2020 - tasted after eight years, this RdFrassinello is still in good shape, say at the end of its best drinking window but still alive and kicking. Complex nose with some hints of ash, at the palate red plums and blueberries melt with undebrush. Round and pleasant, juicy, classy and mouthfilling.
  My note of 2012 shows some different comments, and that's what time has made to the wine. Great, with only a few years ahead but better to drink now.
  In a worried evening where Covid news delivers a complex and deteriorating scenario

  March 18, 2020 - Praelum TITs - Tuscany (Praelum Wine Bistro): Medium ruby, with some fading at edges. Slightly restrained nose with red cherry aromas, some fern leaf, and tomato. Structured, and a good intensity, with red cherry and a deep peaty flavour as well as cocoa. Good persistence as well. Nice!

  September 27, 2017 - Drinking very nicely. This wine calls out for food - and once suitably accompanied offers delightful fruit compote and creme de cassis on top of earth and even iron undertones. Drink now.
