March 10, 2024 - Tabac blond, fruit rouge, cuir. Le milieu de bouche est dense et serré. La finale laisse une bouche nette. Très typique, excellent.

March 10, 2024 - Slo-ox for six hours and drank over the next three. The air clearly softened it. Great body. Black olive, some dark fruit, but this is not a fruity Brunello. Maybe graphite/mineral/spice. Very good length.

March 3, 2024 - Delicious. Great balance. Lots of development showing and the fruit is evolving.
