In the zone now. First wine in eight days due to the flu. Thankful no COVID-19. Nose is spicey, ebullient and ripe. Juicy nose if possible. Mega Barbera fruit but also a Cornas like granitic tension. Wonderful deep and big berries. Palate is fresh and elegant with lovey linearity and freshness. Gotten more nimble as it ages. Very sappy and pure. Opulent but only just so. Great acids, balance and freshness. So so pure. Excellent showing. — 17 days ago

Dark garnet to the edge, touch of fruit on the nose with red plum. Smooth, medium bodied, red plum, maybe blackberry too. More fruit forward & lighter than expected. — 8 days ago

This is great for what it is: not a big Brunello but a really lovely dinner wine that will play a great supporting role behind Wednesday pasta. Nicely structured fruit, tannins and acidity make it a great food wine. — a day ago

Dirty earth and leather. Big. Maybe too big. Not much Barbera, but I kind of like it anyway? Not the oak/fruit bomb I feared though — 2 days ago
