Good and heavy. Paired excellent with veal Parmesan. Oaky, cherry, leather, and earthy. Would probably be better had this sat a few more years. Prepping taste buds for upcoming trip to Tuscany for some winery tours.

2018 vintage. Solid but unexciting. Medium body. Hit within the next decade as this lacks the structure to cellar long-term. If you've still got the 2016 vintage, let that one sleep. 8.28.24.

Very nice but not used to drinking them this young. I’m still motoring through the 2013s in my cellar. Just seemed to lack depth. Had it decanted for 45 minutes but didn’t open up enough either.
