May 11, 2023 - Shared with Seattle wine group tasting. Possibly the wine of the night but was consumed (quickly) by the group prior to the formal tasting. Delicious and still fresh, young tasting. This one has decades to go.
May 6, 2023 - Really beautiful and should drink well for next 5-10 years at least. The Cabernet in the blend keeps everything in check and I agree with some earlier notes that blind this could feel like an extremely well-made Cali cab. A bit less ripe but otherwise all the elements are there and it does feel a bit more new world. Really tasty even though not perhaps the most classic representation (IMO) of a BDX blend from Tuscany.
April 22, 2023 - Didn’t decant , poured 2 small glasses and swirled the bottle . Good nose, texture and taste from the start. Finishes as good as it starts. Paired with pasta and red sauce very nicely. It could easily stand up to a ribeye.
March 25, 2023 - Beautiful purple with a hint of brown. No tanin. Drinking very well and should keep easily 5-7yrs.
March 24, 2023 - Too good! It just jumps out the decanter from the start, you know it's something special, immediately. One of those wines that both new world leaning and old world snobs (guilty) equally appreciate. In a beautiful spot right now - secondary iron/blood/Tuscan slightly underripe tomato things starting to grab the mic from the dark, dense and pure fruits of youth. Nice balance of both. Still sightly wound up at first sip but started singing an hour or so in and for the next two, then slight possible decline... but if you haven't drank most all of it by then, that's on you! Cheers.

June 25, 2022 - This wine is perfect now. Very deep garnet color with a powerful nose of mostly secondary and tertiary aromas: tar, dried cherry, toast, mushrooms, earth, bitter chocolate. On the palate: dry, high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, peasant mouthfeel due to silky smooth body and strong flavors of sour cherry, vanilla, cured meat and chocolate. Very long and satisfying finish lingering on the palate for minutes.Very good wine that can withstand more years in the cellar If I were to taste it blind, in would've thought that this is a very well made, high end California Cab.
June 17, 2022 - Superb and drinking very nicely now. Notes below are a fair spread and representative. I’d say get stuck into this and I suspect that most people that drink this will already be doing so. Inky, silky, dark fruited, Italian power. Great way to end our lunch and sat in the right place at the end of the trio of wines at Goodman.
May 9, 2022 - Rich with good dark fruit and herbal notes. This wine it delicious,ready to drink and won't get any better. Drink now.
March 6, 2022 - Drank straight out of the bottle. Superb.
