    August 11, 2023 - Full bodied. It’s all cherry and cranberry. A real classic Chianti with freshness and balance.

    August 8, 2023 - Very classic and rather oldschool. Cherry, cranberry, orange, cinnamon, violet, dairy. Acid driven palate with tart red fruit and firm tannins. A food wine. Anything but a crowdpleaser. Will be a lot better in five years' time. Drink now - 2036. I wish more producers would aim at this style of Chianti Classico.

    March 20, 2022 - A little better. I gave it less of a decant. More structure and finish. Might have been the pairing (pasta).

    March 6, 2022 - Solid but I expected more. Good fruit but lacking the complexity and finish I wanted
