it’s giving dirt! In the best way. Stone fruit. Fresh acidity. Barnyard funk. I love this — a month ago

Silky smooth and very balanced but missing a bit of ompf and flavor. Maybe too young? Seems to be the point of a second wine though... — 18 days ago

Medium deep garnet core , medium wide garnet rim . This shows very well still with some sous bois , dried herbal hints and cherry . On the palate this shows good freshness , red cherry again, freshly cut herbs , touch of tobacco and black tea . Balanced acidity and lightly dusty but resolved tannins . Good length and presence on the palate , with enough fruit still , good balance and a black tea stained finish. This is at peak , and will probably stay here for a few more years , so no immediate rush, but is unlikely to improve further . — 9 days ago

Bright medium ruby , quite thin violet rim . Quite discreet and fine, reserved on the nose . Red cherry , cassis , mineral tinged blackberry, after a while pomegranate. On the palate this is very detailed and precise , great freshness and with more red fruit, cherry , red plum , blackberry , wet slate , saline oyster shell with very fine tannins . Long mineral finish . Very young obviously but incredibly elegant and fresh . Will need time , this closed up quite a lot after time in the decanter . Better in 10 -15 years , will last well a further 10-15 . Incredibly promising . — 9 days ago

2020 vintage….a warm vintage in Tuscany.
Gaja from Tuscany.
Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah.
Dark plum, violets, black cherry, sandalwood, dark chocolate and earthy.
Great acidity and refreshing on the finish.
Just a baby…it will age well.

A gift from Malin. So much vanilla it tastes like a red and white chupa chup lollipop 🍭 and in a very good way. Hints of orange peel. Smooth but with a dry finish. — 2 days ago

Nicely concentrated Sicilian red, with muscular tannins backed by deep and dark fruit with somewhat sharp acidity. Reminds me of a young California Central Coast red blend. Nice pairing with red sauce pasta but probably better after four or five years of softening in the bottle. Had the 2023 vintage with Paccheri Lisci (spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage, pecorino) from Jame Enoteca in El Segundo, CA. — a month ago
