September 3, 2023 - Very good. Initially very plush on the palate: plum, black cherry, ripe strawberry hints. There follows increasing complexity: notes of kirsch and tobacco and perhaps cedars tannins. Vino da meditazione.

November 9, 2021 - PnP. Deep purple-red in color with a tiny bit of orange at the edge. Aromas of cherry, dried cherry, eucalyptus, some petrichor, savory herbs and a bit of warmth. On the palate bright cherry, some heat, mild tannin leaving a neutral finish. Good. Improving as it warms. Drinking with dinner of bean stew with bacon, vegetables and Parmesan rind. May have some pepper flake from the pasta served under the stew. The wine softened through dinner and after. Quite good by the end of the bottle.
