  December 18, 2023 - Dark garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of floral notes of violets & dusty/earthy/loam notes, spice notes of cloves, iron, cocoa/mocha, leather, truffles, minerals, anise, tobacco, herbs & a hint of balsamic & cedar notes. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & mulberries with herbs, cocoa, truffles, minerals, spices & a bit of vanilla/oak in the background. Long lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but at 17 years of age, it is quite close to or at its peak but could maintain its current stage of development for several additional years. However, I doubt any further development would occur from additional aging. Fill was in the neck above capsule; cork was clean & intact. An amazing Brunello which has aged quite well!

  August 24, 2023 - Deep tawny colour, somewhat opaque. Forward nose of red cherries and plums, leather and earth. Palate is where this wine shines. Balanced, yet rich, tannins barely notable, acidity offsets the sweet fruit. Very good finish. Very enjoyable now and will hold for several years.

  December 7, 2022 - Nez fruits rouge bonbon, pâtisserie. En bouche belle ampleur, un peu carré. Tanins encore bien presents, qui devraient s assouplir. Belle longueur.

  January 30, 2022 - Quite a relief that this bottle lived up to it's reviews... a prior bottle was an epic fail... just a bad bottle. Amazing when that happens... same vintage/source... who knows if it was from the same case? In the category of shit happens!

  January 2, 2022 - Opened fairly late at night on NYE. Seemed much less impressive, and much more developed than my last bottle. A slightly oxidative touch from older Sangiovese was emerging. Should have been my last bottle so will not know for sure if this was simply an off bottle I guess.
