April 3, 2024 - Popped/poured. Rich translucent ruby. Soft, fragrant, floral nose. Palate has firm, youthful fruit. Developing nicely, albeit no match for the flagship from this house. 5-12-15-8: 90/100.

March 28, 2024 - Hmm… tonight it was still very primary and almost new world in style.

January 28, 2024 - 44% Merlot, 26% Cab, 18% PV and 12% CF from the younger vines that will one day go into the Ornellaia grand vin.
Some funk that blows away, and such a bright dark garnet colour. Pronounced oak and vanilla on nose too. Density of the red fruit and cherry keeps developing, only fully opens up 1.5 hours later.
2016 is the winemakers vintage in Tuscany, and described as pure, classical and elegant in that it was hot but not overly so.
Trio of wines at Farm to Plate with LMC and Eng, cosy afternoon in Damansara Kim.

January 10, 2024 - Very similar to my tasting note from July, but maybe a touch better? A very consistent wine.

August 6, 2023 - See my previous note... Almost a year on from when we popped the cork on our first bottle this is showing nice development and is now smoother with the tannins more finely integrated. Raising the score to 92 -- it's ready to drink but has plenty in the tank to easily go another 5+ years with more improvement ahead. I think this will ultimately top out at 93-94 at peak -- a touch lower than I initially thought. Terrific wine and as mentioned previously not too far removed from its big brother making it an excellent value. Keeping my last magnum for 2024-25.
