January 8, 2024 - Fantastic right now. The tertiary notes have kicked in with loqorice, dried herbs, soy, olive leafs.
I have one bottle left and will drink it soon.
Opened 3 hours in advance, no decanting.

April 25, 2023 - Yes it 24+ years old, but is fabulous. A nose of musty cellar but clearly not TCA. Muted fruit, pencil shavings, minerals of iodine.

July 4, 2021 - Somewhere between the two prior observers. Decanted for several hours. Well integrated with fine tannins. Dark fruit.

April 23, 2021 - Bloomed after an hour decant into nice faded roses, but nothing lively happening, no lift and no upside. Generic and underwhelming for a riserva of the vintage. Drink up.

July 5, 2020 - This was beautiful. Fully mature but still had some bite left ni it. Cranberries were dominant, but there was a little bit od cigar ash and black currant. Mid palate was packed with a punch that transitioned to a long finish. While this is ready to drink, I still believe it has a few years left
