Splash decanted sometime prior to dinner; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. Tonight, the 2020 showed up! More impressive than my last experience back in January of this year. All of the previous notes apply but I perceived a little more oomph. Just outstanding stuff and a great pairing with veal osso bucco. I want to drink this all of the time. Drink now with a short decant and through 2045. — 9 days ago
Bright red fruit up front with a nice finish — 22 days ago
Despite a nine year difference the color of the wines were very similar. There were no doubt that the wines were siblings, the DNA was very clear. On the nose, they were twins with the younger sibling demonstrating more intensity, but the exact same scents. It was on the palate where differences showed up. The fruit had a slightly darker profile along with cassis, cigar box and cedar. Slightly more tannins that did not impede a long finish which did not show any hint of alcohol. Very supportive acidity. There is no rush to drink. — a month ago
10 euros by the glass at Osteria Ì Canto Ghibellino,Empoli, with Curly. Sensational value. Just opened, probably doing an injustice. — a month ago

Medium deep ruby with a quite thin bright ruby violet rim. This is quite closed on the nose at first with bright cherry fruit , red plum , blueberry, blackberry , some floral hints and underneath a touch of slate . On the palate this is quite focused and lean , lovely red fruits , hint of spiciness and red cherry floral hints . Really fresh , vital acidity , with fine but very noticeable tannins and a very long focused red cherry , mineral tinged finish . Needs time , but is very promising, great freshness. Probably not at the level of the 2021 , tasted previously , but it’s close . Leave another 5-10 years and will show well a further 10. — 2 days ago
Purple plum red.
Aromas of beets, tomato leaf, blue and black fruits, stewed.
Iron, tomato, blackberries, dark cherry.
After an hour of decanting, develops that cocoa nib character that is pleasant and adds a richness along with more pronounced red fruits. The tobacco and earthiness calms and the fruit character develops — a month ago
Don’t know if this is representative or not, but it’s definitely not what we were expecting. All sweet and nutty and balsamic but no fresh acidity, which was to be expected, nor anything else that pointed in the direction of a Sangiovese dominated wine. Seems to be in an indian summer kind of phase. Drink up we thinks cause it seems to be going down hill. — 25 days ago
Still solid!!! — 4 days ago
Sour cherries, plum, blackberries & baked strawberries, softened cedar, dry tobacco w/ ash, leather, dry crushed rocks, dry soil, dark spice box, anise, tarriness, more dark chocolate but some milk chocolate, caramel notes, withering dark & red flowers with dry red roses, nice acidity and still showing firm structure/tension, well balanced and plush 90 second finish.
Has another 7-10 yrs ahead.
