2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25. — 4 days ago

Good! Hefty! Some cinnamon/nutmeg up front upon opening, mellows a bit later. Tasty! — 10 months ago

The 2020 Non Confunditur (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese) wafts up with wild blueberries, sage and violet pastille. It’s silky-smooth with ripe, southern Montalcino red and blue fruits. Sweet spice mingles with black raspberry and minerals throughout the long, lightly structured finale. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2022) — 3 years ago

Pale ruby in color with some sediment; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cherries, dried herbs, and balsamic; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of tart cherries, red currants, and wet slate with a long finish. This wine is intense, complex, and with balanced fruit to match the acidity and tannins. Overall, I rate this wine as outstanding. — 5 months ago

Decided to break open this Brunello tonight, after having a 2015 Argiano last night. This one is super rich with dark cherry, chocolate, and spice aromas. On the bud, the cherry notes continue to come out with cedar/oak notes and subtle spice notes. It velvety smooth with mild tannins and a nice long finish. Great with our steak and kale salad. Looking forward to tasting it with our chocolates later. This one is by far the winner of the two wines. I still have 6 more bottles in the cellar and can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve. — 2 years ago
