    October 19, 2023 - Drank on a weeknight, then forgot I had vacuu-corked the rest of the bottle and placed it in my cellar, until 3 days later. Suprisingly, there wasn't much change during that time. This wine has completely mellowed to the point where it tastes good alone or with a meal, but lacks any real depth or excitement. I don't think it has much life left in it, but it's not dead. Very acceptable, but not much more than that.

    September 15, 2023 - Solid drinker, nothing special. On the back end at this point, time to drink up if you got any.

    January 30, 2022 - Opened this one past the recommended drinking window. The wine is still perfect and shows it full character: Cherries, tobacco, oak, subtle herbal notes, medium tannins, long finish.

    June 20, 2021 - Evening on the terrace with good company and nice conversations. Very Tuscan: cherries, red berries, plums, leather, oak, earth, nice acidity. Soft tannins and good finish. A nice Sangiovese expression.

    April 25, 2021 - Calmed down quite a bit. Pretty well balanced at this point. Went well with steak.
