Sweet dark Maraschino cherry nose with hints of leather and earth. Soft black cherry palate that improves with time in the glass. Lengthy finish. Nothing at all like the last time I tasted this. Yum.

A bottle bought from the vineyard in 2016. Lovely visit and cellar tour with tasting on my honeymoon. The wine was exquisite already then and now in the drinking window as hot vintage.

Opened to breathe for 2h, then decanted for another 4h. A-Ma-Zing. I cannot overstate how important it is to let this wine breathe. Consistent with my previous note, absolutely singing a choir of angels at the moment. A stellar brunello! 94/95

Really flat nose even after decanting. Dusty fruit nose. Nice dark fruit palate with bracing acidity and maturing tannins. Nice length in the mouth but left me wanting. Very good but not what I’d hoped for at this point. We’ll give the next bottle at least 3 years.

Opened to breathe for 3-5h, this is outstanding, consistent with my previous notes. Just, wow. My last bottle.
