  November 13, 2021 - Color: medium ruby with garnet
  Nose: well. Very very potent smells of olive and roses. Sour cherry, leather and asphalt. Little bruised apple. Still primary though
  Palate: wow medium-high acidity and medium-high tannins which are rotund and in balance, for a medium body that kicks pretty hard. Lovely sour cherry profile with roses and tar. In the mouth though i get a minerality that is quite pronounced
  Finish: long
  
  This is a great bottle here. Big big nose and a food attitude that is remarkable. I think these will be very sought after. I thought great on the p&p but also after a 3h decant we still are going strong

  June 4, 2021 - Excellent bottle that exceeded expectations. Really lively nose of red fruits and cake. Palate with hints of balsamic fig, vanilla, and cherry cola. Strong finish lasting >20seconds.

  May 9, 2021 - Wow, significant improvement. Lovely nose hints of cherries and with that Italian nose. Lovely deft construction. Lots of fruit, well balanced with acidity and lovely length

  February 7, 2021 - Very good. At or near its apogee, I would think. That said, there's really no sign this is tiring, either. Very elegant med/med+ body, with very fine tannins and a gentle, persistent finish that resonates well beyond what the modest tariff might suggest. Red/dark red fruits, lots of place/soil notes to keep it interesting, and a textbook elegance and freshness that all 12 yr old wines should have on offer. A real joy that will hold, but oh so good right now, too. highly recommended+
