May 20, 2023 - Sangiovese study, Volume II (Chicago, IL): #12246. Late release; nevertheless still oxidized.

May 11, 2023 - Italian Night in Jax (La Cena): Alas also a bit tired which was mostly the theme of our Biondi Santi mini-vertical. Just not quite living up to what we’d have hoped.

August 31, 2021 - served 3½ hours after opening, without decanting. sweet grass, kinda fruity, pretty fragrant, minty, and kinda ripe.

June 25, 2019 - Hazy to cloudy. Developed and borderline tired nose. Bitter orange peel. Immediately screamed Italy. But sadly I felt this was tried and fading.

November 28, 2018 - Drunk at the Fine Wine Experience Biondi-Santi Riserva Rarities Dinner at Otto e Mezzo in Hong Kong. More bricking than the '71 and the oxidation was also more prominent. The acid is there as always but ultimately a tired bottle I think.
