February 12, 2024 - Another really nice bottle of this; classically structured with Biondi Santi acidity and still some tannins; fresh on the nose; elegant and powerful at the same time.

February 7, 2024 - Decanted 30 minutes. As we drank this got better and better - give it longer in the decanter. Classically styled. Black cherry, tobacco and herbs. Excellent balance and focus. Early maturity. with a little unresolved tannin. Decent length at the back. In a good drinking window but plenty of years of life ahead.

September 28, 2023 - This is lovely. Medium to full bodied. Red cherry, olives and leather. Elegance, good depth and length. This drinks incredibly well now and will continue to evolve over the new few years.
