November 23, 2023 - This was a beautiful wine - but it is young and wound up. After a few hours in the decanter it started to open up. We had it with our Thanksgiving dinner and it was outstanding with food. The nose shows violets and dark fruits at this point, and the palate is elegant and long, with rich deep fruit. It should really shine in another 10-30 years. I have 1 bottle left and I'll hold it for as long as I can.

June 16, 2023 - Brunello 2004 Horisontal (My House): Elegant and intense wine with refined cherry and strawberry fruit.
It feels youthful but I would doubt that it has the ability to become better with age. Still, a great wine!1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 8, 2022 - Lunch with Thibaut and colleagues (Praelum Wine Bistro): Pale ruby. Quite a punch of earth, pepper, cinnamon, red cherry, and raspberry on the nose. Generally a savoury mineral tone on the palate, with a rather shale slatey darkness, red cherry, raspberry, moss, twigs, cedar, pepper and nutmeg flavours. Lengthy and complex. Great wine!

January 29, 2022 - Nez intense mais désagréable sur des notes très herbacées (qui rappelle le millésime 2004). La bouche sauve le nez : tanins aérien et soyeux et équilibre parfait. Quelques fruits rouges et un trait de menthol viennent heureusement concurrencer ces notes d'herbe mouillée qui risquent de prendre de plus en plus le pas avec le temps. A boire urgemment !
