  December 3, 2023 - Second bottle of four, two and a quarter after the first (I said then I thought the wine was 2-5 years away from peak drinking window, so pat on the back to me there for self-discipline); solid improvement noted. Brought to Steve and Patty’s and consumed with snacks. Having read prior notes and with my experience in mind, it was opened, and not tried, 3.5 hours before consumption, then consumed over an hour or so. Super savory and rather saline, led by a highly appealing blackberry paste note, with dark florals, underbrush, classic Tuscan earthiness and dark roast coffee. Great with charcuterie, but also really enjoyed on its own. Suspect that, even with prodigious air, it’s at most entering peak drinking window, if it’s indeed even arrived there, and has good prospects for incremental improvement, and at the least, staying here for 5 years or so. Expect I’ll wait a year+ before the next one. Solid recommendation. 92-93 if scoring.

  June 8, 2023 - Triple decant, too young at this point with lean acidity and a short finish.
