  Stunningly deep ruby color, well-balanced bright fruit and silky tannins, robust mouthfeel, and a brilliant nose. If you own this I’d rec drinking it, unclear to me if it’ll improve with age.

  50th Dinner Scopri. Took a long time to open up. Plenty of class here.

  Popped/poured. Rich translucent ruby. Soft, fragrant, floral nose. Palate has firm, youthful fruit. Developing nicely, albeit no match for the flagship from this house. 5-12-15-8: 90/100.

  Hmm… tonight it was still very primary and almost new world in style.

  44% Merlot, 26% Cab, 18% PV and 12% CF from the younger vines that will one day go into the Ornellaia grand vin.
  
  Some funk that blows away, and such a bright dark garnet colour. Pronounced oak and vanilla on nose too. Density of the red fruit and cherry keeps developing, only fully opens up 1.5 hours later.
  
  2016 is the winemakers vintage in Tuscany, and described as pure, classical and elegant in that it was hot but not overly so.
  
  Trio of wines at Farm to Plate with LMC and Eng, cosy afternoon in Damansara Kim.
