  Slow oxed for roughly 4.5 hours. This is a medium red wine with minimal sediment at the end of the bottle. On the nose, I get cherry, scrub, and strawberry notes. In the mouth, this is a plush and enveloping wine, displaying cherry sauce coupled with ripe red berries. The finish continues the theme, with lingering red fruit and a slight sweetness. Overall, I found this to be a modern Brunello, but one that was very nice today and should have some years left in the tank. 91 points.

  Decanted about an hour and it was good to go. Plenty of fruit, well-integrated, nice nose and palate, probably at peak. Enjoyed for a couple hours.

  Decanted 4 hours, which it needed. Nice on both nose and palate for a couple hours following until it was gone. Seems to have improved since previous notes, or maybe picked a better bottle, but in any event quite enjoyable.

  Decanted for 3+ hours. Decanting is recommended, both to open the wine a bit and to push off some of the sediment. This is a full-ruby-red wine. On the nose, I get cherries, rosehips, forest floor, and teriyaki sauce. In the mouth, the wine is clean and fully integrated with a solid beam of red fruit throughout. The finish is chewy and mouthwatering, displaying a few seconds of ash and more cherry elements. Overall, this is a very enjoyable wine. It is ready now with a few hours in a decanter. 92 points.
