November 29, 2023 - Delicious on first taste but an off fishy note creeps in. Pretty much everything you expect in a Brunello. Char and cherry. Well reviewed by others. I enjoyed it despite some slight oddities.

August 23, 2023 - Tasted after a 75 minute decant. Pale to medium ruby in colour with a distinct garnet hue. Aromas are lovely leather, floral & earth. On the palate, medium bodied red/black cherry, somewhat earthy & floral, tobacco/chocolate, medium to high acidity, medium to high soft tannins with a long finish to sour cherry, minerality & leather. This wine is elegant & restrained, & has aged well!

August 14, 2023 - This was an OK bottle. Had a cherry nose as well as the same on the palate. Drinking now and probably won't age much more than this. Has tannins to support the fruit but didn't appeal to me more than a regular Chianti Classico.
