March 18, 2019 - The color is ruby red with a hint of orange at the rim. Nice black fruit on the nose. It is thin on the palate with light to light-medium body. This wines smells better than it tastes. The finish is medium long.
Edit: I kept half of the bottle under vacuum in the fridge for 5 days. It turns out that the wine is better at day 5 than day 1. Thinking back, I should have decanted the wine for an hour or two on day 1. I've revised the score upward from 88 to 89 points. -

September 26, 2017 - A classic but largely unremarkable chianti. Bass notes that are beginning to develop add a little more than the average level of interest.

September 10, 2017 - Clear garnet. Tomato, black fruit nose. Thin, tannic, some incipient complexity present. Nice finish. Needs more time.

Disappointing.
