October 28, 2022 - From Magnum and an utter treat. Opened and double decanted 4 hours prior to serving it nonetheless opened up even further over an hour in the glass. Very aromatic, I couldn’t resist going back to inhale the fragrance again and again. Beautiful colour- not showing its age, the secondary notes on the palate beautifully complementing the verticality of the vintage. A wonderful way to round off the dinner where we compared 2007-2004 vintages of Percarlo and La Ricolma- with the Sangiovese “winning” in most vintages for my tastes and the 2006 being the absolute winner in a tight contest.

February 20, 2019 - Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, as last bottle noted in 12/17, less powerful than surrounding vintages. F (17.5).

December 22, 2017 - 11th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, on a par with last bottle, still fresh and pure, if a tad less interesting than broader and more complex Sodi 97. F (17.5).

January 2, 2017 - A good wine which for a 98 (18 years) is still drinking really well. I think it is nearly at the end of its plateau though. Still a good tannin which I think will now start to get dry. Not what I would call an enjoyable wine, but certainly interesting and I probably needed food with it.

2/9/2006 (link)(San Giusto a Rentenano Percarlo) My last of three from winebid. This was the best of all. Nose of well water, earth and deep berry fruits. Palate has delightful concentration and lots of earth. Velvety texture with great detail and power with finesse. Really long with just astoundingly pure fruit.
