  This has been neglected/forgotten in my cellar for 4 years - time to give my first bottle a try! Opened to breathe for 3h and then decanted for 2-3 more hours. This is a big wine that really needed air. Vanilla and baking spices on the nose, on the palate cherries, graphite, earthy dirty oak, chewy tannins still, smooth smoky finish. With grilled spicy chicken tonight.

  Tuscany July 2023; 6/28/2023-7/5/2023 (Tuscany, Italy): Muted compared to the 15 and 16 even with the age. Spicier and a plenty of acidity

  Aroma of balsamic vinegar and cherries. On the palate, black olive tapenade, cherries, balsamic, tobacco and a hint of barnyard funk. Really reminded me of a top Musar. Body is massive and dense... really sticks to your mouth. Tannins are pretty much resolved at this point. Fabulous.

  Licorice and some manure on the nose, cherry and tobacco on the palate. Nice long finish. Maybe missing a tiny bit of depth, but all the flavors present were balanced elegantly.

  Cherry and tobacco. Tannins are still a little grippy early on. After a few hours in decanter this loosens up a bit. Could use a few more years, but is definitely drinkable if given plenty of air.
