Tight, cool and stony to begin with. There's some spruce and iron showing too. It got plush with air, sweetening from its core. Real latent power here. Beautifully balanced and perfectly ripe tannins carrying the long finish.

Bright red cherry, elegant, but extremely tannic at this point. Give it more time in bottle or decant for 2 hours and pair it with a fatty meal. It will get better with age.

Sweet, dark and bitter. Brilliant cherries and lush chocolatey oiliness on the finish. Lots of definition and bite. Drink now or hold. Sure it might smooth out and integrate even more, but life is short, it’s got a rough wildness now that it may lose with time.

Dark red, with sweet dark fruit. Massive wall of tannins, with a slight bitterness on the finish. Good stuffing, but no where close to ready. Continue to sleep on my bottles.

Needs more time. Drank next to an 04 Vietti Lazzarito which was in a great spot. I'd hold off on opening until 2024ish.
