February 18, 2024 - Purchased at winery summer of 2010 on family vacation. By this age, wine was soft, rich and elegant. Enough acidity left for balance. Have had very good luck recently with aged Chianti.

October 6, 2023 - Mycket mörkt tegelfärgat, knappt genomskinligt.
Tunna gardiner (14 procent).
Kristallklar doft av körsbär, hallon, och deras kärnor, ljus choklad, vått grus och så en botten av höstligt skogsgolv.
Högst påtagliga men mycket finkorniga tanniner. Bärsötma och syrlighet i fin balans, körsbär, hallon, choklad, nästan bränt kaffe.
Avslut med påtaglig beska, nästan vidbränd finish tar ner ett annars fantastiskt gott moget vin – en smula. Känns perfekt att dricka nu. -

August 25, 2023 - Dark red with maturity tone. Dark cherries and plum, not as expressive as I expected. Taste with dark berries, dry grainy tannins, good acidity and good length. Missing something that makes it interesting. Maybe it's slightly in downhill. Usually one of my favourite producers.

June 28, 2022 - Superbe tenue dans le temps.
Fondu mais encore énergique, une belle acidité, très belle matière, mélange d’arômes primaires et tertiaires, superbe nez, bouche intégrée et homogène, très belle longueur, sans aspérités.
Superbe!
Probablement en fin d’apogée ou déjà en déclin.
