December 9, 2022 - I echo what neecies said. Drank from the same bottle. Holding up very well. Traditional aged Sangiovese nose and flavours. Holding on.

December 8, 2019 - This is drinking 20 times better than any of those modern Ruffino's could come close to drinking 30 years from now. Classic Ruffino profile with more complexity and a little less violet. A tad rustic, but most classic.

September 2, 2019 - Dark colour. Few signs of bricking. Plush texture. Bordeaux-like. Plum. Smooth, nicely resolved tannins. Plenty of life left.
