  December 8, 2020 - Yellow reddish coloration indicative of age. Beautiful brunello Sangiovese flavors in the nose, hints of vanilla. Full of life. Fairly straight through the palate; not complex. Ends with a dry touch, still tannins alive but fine balance. Black currant, plums, delicious.

  August 29, 2020 - Very solid and well rounded brunello. Plenty of life left. Medium to long finish. Good presence of black berries.

  April 15, 2020 - Surprised how young this bottle tasted and surprising level of fruit. Soft tannin, red fruits, tobacco. Went well with red sauce. If this bottle is any indication this wine is in a great spot but has years before fading

  March 1, 2020 - The fruit is there but is plummy and stewed. Also get tar, vanilla and cigar on the nose. Very thick mouthfeel for a brunello; yet, the finish falls away quickly. I don't think this had enough acidity to age gracefully for 20 years - probably would have enjoyed it more 5 years ago.
