Happy Boxing Day 2022 from đź‡đź‡°! Ok. Bottle is done. Meal is complete. Honest review to follow. One — this wine. Serve this to anyone and they will be thrilled with its drink ability and balance coupled with depth and refinement. It’s Brunello de Montalcino’s finest (according to Sr and Sra Martinez). While service was a bit slow — where were we to go? Nowhere other than to people watch and enjoy the show. Technically it’s still alba truffle season; one tagliatelle order later (don’t ask the price); so happy. A dual of meat dishes: delightful (though don’t leave Danny alone w pomme purĂ©e) — but at the end of the day, it is the desserts that reign supreme. The sgroppino! The soufflĂ©! Pannetone with mascarpone cream! The box of chocolates and truffles (and a side of limoncello). Visit at Christmas, we insist. This was a lovely visit at a staple favorite. 5 stars!

Tart berries and Mediterranean shrub on the nose. Medium body, with friendly camphor. Ripe and dried cherry notes, milk chocolate and raspberries. Mushroom, and earthy fruit, with an acidic finish. Long supple tannins balance the wine between fruit and acid. Buy it, and sit on it!

Dried rose/strawberry fragrance combined with a sweetness in flavor, not sugar, that comes from the vintage. Nice cut and length. Pure and focused.
