  December 28, 2022 - In the perfect drinking window - balanced, elegant and so good with food. Served with lamb leg, roasted asparagus and herbed rice.

  June 6, 2022 - ripe, jam-packed and voluptuous. tons of petite verdot.
  
  fun wine that really does smell like a young old-world bdx blend. clearly "modern" winemaking from old world. pretty generic beyond that but zero complaints. it's delicious.and true to form
  
  red plum, cassis, raspberry=great fruit profile. no real Italian funk, but earth and slight medicinal aspects
  
  full-bodied, moderate acid, medium minus tannin.
  
  drinking fantastically. wouldn't hold this longer hoping for positive development... it's just gonna turn to goop.

  May 26, 2022 - Blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc. So called modern Italian wine out of French grapes.
  Very interesting and wort to try. Intense with rich ans complex bouquet. Well balanced and structured with good finish.

  April 24, 2022 - Dark. Still showing it's oak. Dark berry fruit. Very good in it's own right, but it could have been from anywhere. The last bottle showed more detail and personality. Not as wonderful as the 2008 iteration, but still very good and enjoyable. 90
