  January 6, 2024 - Dominant riped cherry, good amount of pleasant acidity, and polished tanin.
  
  Almost everything you can expect from a well made BDM.
  
  Lacks complexity; but easily ccessible and enjoyable BDM.
  
  Recommended.

  December 23, 2023 - Beautiful nose of crushed black berries, dark cherries with cranberries and loamy iron soil. The palate of black fruit and berries. Firm tannins with balanced acidity evolves with a long iodine iron nuanced finish. Very traditional brunello that goes with tomatoe sauce spaghetti.

  November 24, 2023 - Cherry and red fruit nose, yet another one of our 4 wines with great aromatics. Tannins and mouthfeel silky, medium++ acidity which provides such a lift to this wine and paired perfectly with the top quality beef.
  
  Full-bodied, long finish. Legendary and textbook 2016 vintage, one if finesse and harmony with ideal September weather promoting perfect acidity in the grapes!
  
  Alwin had blurted out that this was a Brunello so no guessing required there.. I did think it was a very good vintage (and since the tannins were reasonably resolved and so fine) hence I.. thought 2013.
  
  It was in fact the epic 2016 vintage. Hann asked me to guess the maker, I knew it wasn't a Casanova Neri or a Il Poggione.. but was clueless who it was. Have only had a 2017 to date.. and this far surpassed that experience. Wonderful!
  
  Thanks to brother Hann Sze for sharing this at Gyudon Yakiniku where we were spoiled for 3 hours with cut after cut of A5 wagyu!
