  Couple hours after decanting. Still seems austere, wound up. Very pleasurable but not terribly giving.

  This had the usual reserved start for Biondi, where I was at maximum 95p (I know complaining on very high levels🤣)
  
  With 4-5h of air in the bottle got more and more gentle on the tannins.
  
  Ripe forest strawberry, cherry, underbrush, plenty of quality tannins, long finish.
  
  I would leave this alone for at least 5 more years, maybe 10. I expect it to shine then!
  
  2029 - 2045
  
  97p++
  
  Thanks so much @Riaan for this great contribution!

  Really nice, but early. Feels like it needs more time to develop – sort of in between phases right now, so a bit confounding, but so so promising. Totally enjoyable at the moment...

  1st of 6. This is a really polished well balanced wine that required a 90 min decant to gain depth and open up. It’s so smooth that I would have guessed it a 2004 or 07. This must be in its prime drinking window with a solid 5 years left of optimal drinking.

  Eric brought this to the Italian wine dinner. He openned it 4 hours in bottle and surprisingly it served very well. It had a wonderful nose, smooth palate and long after taste.
