March 14, 2022 - Forgot I even have this bottle. Tasting quite new world but the peppery notes takes it back to old world. Drinking well now and no need to wait.

February 18, 2022 - This is really good right now. Probably at peak.
Overripe strawberries, red plums, red cherry, tobacco, sandlewood, old leather, cracked black pepper and a hint of funk. Full bodied, mellow tannins. Hedonistic little old world gem. Blind, I would call it a Super Tuscan.2 people found this helpful Comment
