April 14, 2024 - Couple hours after decanting. Still seems austere, wound up. Very pleasurable but not terribly giving.

April 10, 2024 - This had the usual reserved start for Biondi, where I was at maximum 95p (I know complaining on very high levels🤣)
With 4-5h of air in the bottle got more and more gentle on the tannins.
Ripe forest strawberry, cherry, underbrush, plenty of quality tannins, long finish.
I would leave this alone for at least 5 more years, maybe 10. I expect it to shine then!

97p++

February 12, 2024 - Really nice, but early. Feels like it needs more time to develop – sort of in between phases right now, so a bit confounding, but so so promising. Totally enjoyable at the moment...

January 21, 2024 - 1st of 6. This is a really polished well balanced wine that required a 90 min decant to gain depth and open up. It’s so smooth that I would have guessed it a 2004 or 07. This must be in its prime drinking window with a solid 5 years left of optimal drinking.

January 19, 2024 - Eric brought this to the Italian wine dinner. He openned it 4 hours in bottle and surprisingly it served very well. It had a wonderful nose, smooth palate and long after taste.
