October 8, 2023 - Vinøs hyttetur 2023: Blind. Lys, noe grums, roser, anstrøk av minralitet, frisk og intens i munnen, kunne vært lengre. Munn langt bedre enn nese.

February 17, 2023 - 98 pts. Garnet red with orange rims. Wonderful complex still lots of fruits but balsamic notes some tobacco and cigarbox. Full bodied sweet tannins and extremely long finish. Ripe but no hurry needed

Soft sweet fruit on the palate, acidic frame with a saline savoury character, lovely balance.
Resolved tannins, very complete and harmonious wine. Gorgeous. -

October 8, 2021 - A Tour de Force 'Best Bottle' Tasting (Republique, Los Angeles): The second of two bottles bought as part of an old cellar, and I cheekily brought it to pair with a promising 1958 Mascarello despite the first one having been pretty much DOA. We were in luck, indeed. The color was very, very light, almost transparent. Nonetheless, there was a lot of life here, with evolving notes of balsam, tar, smoke, and some tart acid adding lift to the restrained red berry fruit. There was reasonable structure, too, and I would describe this as a mediumweight wine. As with the 1958, there was no decant here, and the best sip was the last. I would have loved to linger with this one.
