  April 19, 2024 - 마굿간, 두엄, 간장, 검은 과실, 바닐라, 카라멜
  초반에는 결함인가 싶을 정도로 잠잠하다가
  두잔째부터 폭발한다.
  화려한 숙성향미와 다채로운 과실팔렛
  훌륭한 올빈의 모습

  March 6, 2022 - Seconda bottiglia, dopo la prima di qualche mese fa che purteoppo era “tappata”.
  Questa volta tutta un’altra musica. Aperto 4-5 ore prima, decantato dopo un paio d’ore, all’inizio ti aggredisce come se fossi entrato in una sala di un vecchio circolo dove tutti i soci fumano un sigaro. Poi oltre al tabacco regala altre note classiche, ma è in bocca che fa la differenza. Nessuna traccia di stanchezza, equilibrio, lunghezza, setosità. Un grande classico.

  December 11, 2021 - Aperto 4 ore prima, la punta di tappo iniziale purtroppo non passa e al momento della cena il naso è fortemente condizionato. Anche la bocca non brilla, speriamo che le altre sue bottiglie che ho preso siano meglio….

  April 22, 2021 - Served blind. Double decanted in the AM by the person who brought it, who said it was much thinner and inwardly turned upon opening.
  
  Incredibly perfumed, it has a contrasting nose of classical precision yet is almost flamboyant in its extroversion with cherry more than dark strawberry, some cedar, and roses for miles. On the palate, it is expansive with a sense of gravitas, yet remains focused with terrific depth and a sense of inner calm. This is the iron fist in a velvet glove. It's broad with terrific sap, beautiful fruit, spice and florals. Very long on the back end. Guesses were all over the place, with a short detour of Tuscany that was quickly dismissed. With the incredible perfume and its texture, I ended finally making my guess of Cannubi dominant Barolo from a terrific traditional producer in a warm but not hot year. In a hundred years I would not have guessed Biondi Santi. Fantastic, and when unveiled a revelation. Going back with the label known, I could parse where I went astray, but I bet if you poured me this again in 5 years (or five days) I'd most likely go back to my guess. Drinking at peak with tons of time in hand. A truly stunning bottle and bigger surprise. Wow.
