September 11, 2013 - A big brooding nose, mixed red and black fruits, hints of anise, black currant and Black plumb. dark fruit on the palate, hints of mildly acidic red fruit and Asian spices. Needs some time.

March 14, 2013 - Chianti Classico tasting- the black rooster crows at the dawn of a new age (Allerton Hotel, Chicago IL): Nose: There is a real nice savory take to the nose with tones of red fruits, licorice, cherries, herbs, and wild spices.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and silky tannins. There is good youth to the palate with fresh and savory tones of red fruits, cherries, herbs, and wild spices.
Overall: This is lacking some depth that would really make the wine. Still, it's young and could benefit from some age. -

March 14, 2013 - This wine has it all. Gorgeous red fruit (especially cherries) nicely balanced with oak, acid, great structure. Supple, well-rounded with a silky finish. Sophisticated, delicious.
