December 17, 2022 - Decanted a portion for about an hour, also slow oxidized the rest over a few days. Did not need much time to open. Dark ruby and touch of garnet color. Dried cherry and cranberry and raspberry on the nose. Ripe cherry, plum, red cassis, pepper on the palate with about 30-35 sec finish.

January 30, 2022 - My Bad. I left this one in the wine cellar too long. (2007 Vintage).
The cork broke up during opening. Otherwise, it was not bad. -

January 29, 2022 - Tested along side a Brunello from the Stanson’s. This was ruby red. Smooth. Cherry. Moderate to full body. Fruit forward (cherry currant) but secondary coming out. Best bottle since new storage.
