• 2007 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico 80 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

  A hint of age.
  A little ripe black fruit on the nose with a hint of oak.
  Fruity, youthful, luscious, very soft tannins, smooth mid palate, roughening in a quite long finish.

• 2007 Fontodi Chianti Classico 78 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

  Just a hint of age.
  A slightly disappointing nose, the baked fruit aroma was disppeared rather quickly.
  Fruity but not very, sweetness from the alcohol, very tannic (very soft tannins), lots of rough edges, quite long.

• 2006 Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 89 Points

  Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

  A lighter style, translucent, with some age.
  A nose of red fruit with meaty notes, very attractive.
  A lovely drink, juicy, integrated, balanced, elegant, dry mid palate and a pleasant bitter finish, great length.

  Translucent, with some age.
  Fragrant nose, baked fruit red and black cherries, quite attractive.
  Sweet attack, but not very fruity, reasonable balance, a little tannic still, but otherwise smooth, good length.

  Almost translucent and very youthful.
