March 26, 2024 - My last bottle was six years ago and I suggested this could get a bit better, which I believe is true, though truly not a major evolution in that time. Still lots of fruit, with a strong herbal component now. Relaxed tannins. Improves in glass for a little while. A bit of an oddity, and enjoyable. 91-92

September 8, 2018 - OMG. I’ve been holding on to this for 6 years and was rewarded tonight. Cab Franc’s herbal fruit with some Sangiovese acid for structure. This is all dark, luscious fruit. Still some tannins, but thay are fading. This is really well balanced. If you’re holding, it’s in a really great place right now.

May 22, 2018 - This wine is really hitting its stride. Superb balance, just enough fruit with that unique Tuscan twist on the Bordeaux varietals. Wish I had bought a lot more.

February 18, 2018 - This simply blossomed after a couple of hours and half-dozen quarter-glasses poured. Like a cardboard box, opening to reveal the wrapping-papered gift shipped inside, opening to reveal dark \\\, black, well structured, juicy sangiovese and ripe cab franc fruit. You can imagine the cab franc like an herb encrusting protecting the fleshy middle to maturity and then shedding. Getting close to peak plateau. Now with time to breathe or 2020-2026.
