April 22, 2024 - A beauty drank along a Salvioni 2010 and this was the hands down favorite at the table. Just starting to get that pruney sweetness that comes with bottle age. Perfect time to drink with plenty left in the tank. Decanted in bottle for 8 hours. Seemed to be plenty and very much ready by dinner.

January 12, 2024 - Beautiful nose: decanted 20 minutes; tannins fully resolved. Paired with pizza for perfection

May 24, 2023 - Impressions. Drank this side by side with the 2018 for comparison. This had a small percentage of Barbera added which seem to give it a lift compared to the 2018. Still primary red fruits and drinking nicely.

May 5, 2023 - Wonderfully balanced and complex wine. Earthy on the nose with dried herbs/spices and red fruit. Wonderful texture of rolling tannins, and straight square acid profile right down the center. Not bothered by the minerality like with the 2003. An occassionally wow wine, but could still carry on a conversation, unlike the 2006 Dal Forno. Comparable in greatness to that 1997 Sagrantino that I need to try again. Tannins still coating - easily another 20 years to go.
