October 17, 2023 - Although this was still excellent (pnp), I think this is at peak and would not wait to drink this. After being open for 2 hours, this was starting to show signs of oxidation. So drink now before it is too late

August 6, 2023 - Wonderful bouquet of blackberries, cherries, spices, mint, undergrowth. Rich palate of ripe, exotic berries, spices, fine line of acidity and tannins, lush, leading to a long spicy finish. A tiny bit if bitterness. In a great spot.

November 19, 2022 - Subtle bouquet of ripe cherries, cherry candy, crushed stones, flowers, kirsch. Ripe palate of red berries, sweetness, with some residual tannins, providing a bit grip, some freshness and bitterness, spices on the finish of medium length. Clearly from a ripe vintage, but well made.

August 1, 2022 - Fresh showing of the Sangiovese grape with black fruits that are perfectly ripe. A lovely mineral touch during the aftertaste and just a fraction of wood is present.
