    February 18, 2023 - Dark ruby with discoloration on edge. Aromas of dark plums, prunes, spice, leather, smoke. Big wine with medium+ acidity, still plenty of smooth tannins. Taste of plums, prunes, dark cherry, dark chocolate, earth. Medium finish.

    November 11, 2021 - Morgante Don Antonio back vintage vertical tasting. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
    Appearance is clear, deep intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
    Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of figs, dark plums, stewed black cherries, raisins/prunes, dark smoky earth. Developed.
    On the palate, dry, good high acidity, high alcohol, smooth resolved fine medium+ tannins, just making it to full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of savoury umami dark smoky earth, spice, dark plums, stewed black cherries. Medium- finish only. Prunish feels overall.
    Good quality I suppose, but not for further ageing. At the plateau already and may be downhill soon.

    April 11, 2020 - Impressive at first, pruny yet with decent freshness, but turning into tobacco ashes rather shortly.

    March 22, 2019 - The cork was almost half way stained and still intact. Initially reticent nose, showing later on a bit of funk and licorice. Medium bodied, very smooth with almost resolved tannins, delivering mellow sweet dark fruit with a bit of pepper and licorice and a silky umami type mouthfeel. Not very complex but sooo delicious. Still very much alive and kicking after 15 years.
