  Cracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: A light and clean cranberry note with a freshness to it, and an airy stone note as if you’re in an open field of dried grass, near the sea, without any saline notes from the ocean breeze.
  
  P: Cranberries with a drying sensation on the palate. Oak and graphite on the finish along with tons of steeped tea.
  
  Drinkable now but something tells me this could use even more age.. The palate is still very strict and a bit austere. Could use some decanting if serving now. Curious to see how this evolves the next 4-6 years.

  still has a long way to go but with remarkable upside potential
  double decant for 5 hours
  still backwards at first but began to finally yield a little magic at vinetasters
  not hard to pick out tuscany area [compared to piedmont] but so so stiff still
  will try again in 7-10 years

  Super Tuscan!
  Great flavour, lovely texture, wonderful complexity.
  Enjoyed with 2 other couples to accompany a great Spanish tapas style meal.

  Ornellaia Dinner (Stefani Prime - Lincolnwood IL): Double blind in what turned out to be an Ornellaia vertical, which I correctly identified as an Italian Bordeaux blend. I think there was something wrong with this bottle. Restrained start with subdued aromas, then much too tart on the palate and nearly drying. This should be beautiful.
