No doubt about it opened too early, but I knew that ahead of time and this bottle wasn’t meant for the cellar. Not as good as the 2006 Altesino but no doubt would have been in another 5+ years.

Smooth and silky. So elegant. I think this is close to peak. It will cruise for a while I’m sure.

Not a ton to say... It had the underlying chocolate that I love. Nose was underwhelming. Very solid but the complexity of Ciacci or Cassanova wasn't there.
