March 10, 2024 - Opened an hour and a half before drinking, a bit tight at first but great expression Brunello. Well, structured and good length.

November 12, 2023 - Much improved from a few years ago. At home for a low key pizza and movie night. No decant but did benefit from sitting open for an hour or so as it's still a bit tight on the finish.

October 24, 2023 - The wine looks garnet colored. It tastes like light toast, flint and forest floor. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium.
still needs to age as the minerality has not fully flourished....1 person found this helpful Comment
