To clarify further, I did not have them side-by-side. However, I had three bottles of the 2021 Pepe (not the VV) in the last year and found them all underwhelming regardless of the price. With the one bottle of 2023 Tiberio, my wife and I were both “Wow. We need more of this now.” Given the depth of flavors, the acidity level, the ageability, AND the price, buying more was a very easy purchase. Hell, it is even cheap enough to use as cooking wine.
