March 4, 2024 - Drank with T-bone and Tomahawks. Still young but 6 hours in the decanter helped a lot.

December 1, 2023 - Easy drinking. Medium finish. Still tannic so give it a splash decant. Fruit receding. Rustic style.

Great fruit, savoury notes and mild acidity.

September 16, 2023 - Decanted for 2 hrs, drank over the subsequent 3 hrs. Bright garnet red with orange rim. A bit closed on the nose for awhile but typical dusty red berry aroma comes through. Palate flavors are similar with expressive juicy fruit, well integrated (light) tannins, and good acidity - all presenting a nicely balanced wine. Not long in mid-palate weight to the finish unfortunately. A lighter elegant body overall in fact. I don't see much improvement happening over time. I believe this is ready to go and further cellaring won't change much. Enjoyable, clean and pure to form Brunello. I expected more, both for the vintage, and the $70 I paid. I suggest pop 'em open.
For some comparison, had the 2020 Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino before this which had similar fruit components but heavier tannins (I believe oak dominated), and the 2017 Bindella Vino Nobile which held its own quite well. Both at half the price of the Barbi.
