August 7, 2023 - Medium ruby, lovely herbaceous and earthy notes on the nose, very dark fruits. Taste - wonderful acidity, herbal and silky smooth tannins. Superb balance of flavors, with prominent fruit flavors of dark cherry and cranberry. Easy drinking but not without complexity, this wine has a delightful lingering cranberry finish, almost unctuous, just fantastic all around. Paired brilliantly with lasagna. A real treat, a big surprise and a beautiful wine.

September 2, 2022 - I probably undersold this wine last time, or it has developed a bit. I'm not a big Chianti fan, but the rusticity seems to have subsided here, and the cherry core is rather appealing.

August 1, 2022 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like prune, fig, cherry, plum, pineapple, mineral, bark, phenolic, ivy, stems, almond, molasses and brettanomyces.
