Dec 9th, 2023Happy 15th Birthday to our great son Nicanor! A special wine for a special occasion. Last year this time, we were staying within a stone's throw of Brovia in Castiglione Falletto. Next time, we will be sure to visit. I have no doubt that this wine is still young, yet already strong, multifaceted, and brilliant--on it's way to becoming a rock star!

Jul 6th, 2020PnP - medium garnet red with watery rim. Very floral and seducing, crunchy red cherry, cedar, spices with earthy and mineral notes. In the mouth it is very silky with good acidity. Tannins were quite present at first but mellowed out throughout dinner. It seems that the wine in general became more mellow with air. I understand 2011 aren’t for the long haul and this is quite enjoyable now
