  March 8, 2024 - Was meh and unfocused on open & for first glass. Vacu-vin and fridged and opened next night & instantly special, classic brunello with depth, integration & a long fine finish.

  Medium red color with minimal sediment. Sweet/sour cherry, pine resin and sweet tobacco. Palate was similar with fruit brighter than nose suggested. medium+ body, medium acidity/tannins and very long finish. 92+

  August 10, 2023 - Classic Verbena. Opened up nicely in 15 minutes and was very enjoyable. Though still quite young, already very approachable.

  July 18, 2023 - This is good - bright cherry, moderate acidity that is welcoming, black tea a bit of eucalyptus, which I did not expect. Or maybe it’s mint. In any event, this wine is solid and extremely enjoyable. I don’t see a need to let it get a lot older though it will hold up well another 10 years or so. Not for me - I’ll just drink it.

  July 4, 2023 - Beautifully aromatic with cherry, raspberry, and rose notes-flavors carried over in the mouth. This is a medium bodied wine that for me is drinking beautifully now. I wish I had bought more.
