September 18, 2021 - Amazing nose, smelled much younger than it was. Strawberry, menthol, herbs, a little tar, medium finish. Lots of life to it and was better and more expressive than the 1997 rocche dei Manzoni Barolo S. Stefano we had alongside and had expected to best it.

May 6, 2021 - OMG! Does it get much better than this?!? Alas, my last bottle. Plenty of life left if you’re lucky enough to have some still in your cellar.

December 1, 2020 - Truffles (or was that the truffles on the pizza??), underbrush, soft earth, lower tannins, youthful (boy was I off on this one. I'll blame it on the truffles). I guessed younger bordeaux super tuscan blend. I thought it was good, classic, well-structured (tannins probably did mellow outwith the age on this). Enjoyed this, not a super star. DD at Cotzen's.

December 24, 2018 - Opened about 7 hours before drinking, decanted 2 hours before. Spectacular! Everything a great Brunello should be. Drinking at its peak right now.
