  May 26, 2023 - Sort of surprised by the relatively low scores. This is a very approachable, silky-textured Brunello with breadth on the palate and a long finish. Very well-balanced and enjoyable now, but don't be afraid to cellar. I believe wines like this help to solidify Brunello di Montalcino as perhaps the best value in fine red wine, anywhere in the world.

  December 24, 2022 - Great wine, but made me appreciate AP’s Rosso di Montalcino even more. As others have written, this seems a little too one dimensional for the price.

  May 18, 2022 - Tasted again a few months on and found it much more expressive. Violets, earthy notes, nice tannins. Slightly higher score this time.

  February 8, 2022 - Strawberry jam and red fruit on the nose. Lovely pale Ruby in colour. A little spice but very backseat. A little one dimensional in my opinion. Good but not sure it's worth the money

  July 10, 2021 - Great nose. Tart red fruit and earthy notes that i associate with a classic Brunello, but the oak influence is too strong. Would guess this sees some aging in barriques. Good amount of concentration and tannins that integrated on day two. A little hot. Touch of mocha on the long lingering finish.
  
  Would like to revisit in 5-10 years.
