  January 22, 2017 - Drinking quite nicely right now. Gave it 30 minutes to open. Dusty mocha, dried cherry. Classic brunello!

  October 18, 2016 - Am I the only person on CT to have ever tasted this wine?! The '01 Le Presi was gorgeous last night. Emanuele and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Beautifully oxidized red and very cloudy with fine sediment. The nose was gorgeous with leather, iron, tobacco, a whisper of oak, and tertiary notes that only appear after so many years in waiting. On the palate all elements were in balance. Zero reason here to wait any longer to put it into play. Not that anyone else on planet Earth is in possession of the '01 Le Presi.

  December 5, 2011 - Still a very dark color, no bricking. Beautiful, deep aromatics of dark fruits, a bit of tertiary leather and tobacco, and a very nice touch of oak that imparts a hint of baking spices, not vanilla. The tannins are velvety but do constitute a sizable structure in the mouth along with great, food friendly acid, though I wouldn't blame anyone for drinking this beauty on its own. Still fairly young, I would opt to drink this between 2015 and 2018 in order to have a bit of fruit left in the wine. Molto buono.
