April 12, 2024 - Great battle between 2015 and 2016 vintages (RP: 2015:94, 2016:94; WS 2015:92, 2016:95). Those are two extremely different wines. The 2015 is dominated by dry wood at this stage. There is a lot of fruits underneath but the overall balance is not there right now, even after more than 3 hours of carafe. I will give it a rating of 92 now with a probable rating of 94+ in a few years. Not close to be ready to drink.
The 2016 is a wonderful wine right now. Very rich but with smooth tannins and lovely fruits. Great balance already, it has a little more acidity and much less dry wood tannins. It is still a young wine but I like it very much right now. I rate it 94 now with a potential of 95 in a few years.
The overall experience was great as I thought those two vintages would be very similar but boy I was wrong.5 people found this helpful Comment -

February 24, 2024 - 1 hr decant. Nice balance of flavors and youthfulness with depth. In a perfect place for my palate.

January 20, 2024 - Exceptional bottle. Venturi aerator into decanter for about 90 min. Was singing, balanced and smooth with a 30 second finish. Much better than the previous two bottles I opened last year. Giovanni is onto something.....
