Based on other reviews here I decided to open, decant and wait 2 hours. Great advice! This was electric after 2+ hours. Pungent, powerful and delicious! Rich deep dark color and strong earth and mature cherry notes. Still active and pacing in the glass. This was the best bottle of the ‘16 so far for me. Definitely in its enjoyment zone. — 13 days ago

Reviews say I should wait untill at least 2028 to open it and I should have listened. The basics for a truly great wine are there but it’ still a bit of everywhere in terms of acidity and tannins. Time will tell… — 2 months ago

Powerful aroma including cassis blackberry and cherry, oak vanilla. Chalk mineral. 30 min, much better, but not necessary for deep decanting. Almost 2019 Lucente 21 @6500, Bic - Oren I G, 250922-250924 — 3 months ago

A Tuscan red blend that we have had in the United States as well as in Italy. In the US you can buy this for $16 a bottle at Total Wine and see it in a restaurant for $52 a bottle. I was in the north end of Boston and paid $80 for the same bottle! If you are in Florence this bottle costs about €15.30 in the supermarket and will run you about €22 to €27 in a restaurant.  — 9 days ago

Great Italian vintage, this doesn’t break the bank if you can find it.
Decant still needed. — 2 months ago

i always enjoy this. Rich yet elegant, this delivered on all notes. Soft berries on the nose, rich black fruit and mellow tannins give way the burnt sandal leather from the Tuscan sun. Yummy — 24 days ago

Had the 2016 after I had the 2015. 2015 was exceptional. 2016 much darker red fruits. Loved it as it was opening uo more. Delish — 16 days ago

May be catching me at just the right time but I love it. Great core, well balanced and very promising. Pleasant surprise thought it’s really young — 2 months ago
