Wonderful, invigorating wine. Still youthful! Plenty of primary fruit and some nicely integrated oak. Some development and complexity. Intense, long and delicious.

Nose: ripe, smoky, a Lot of black fruit, sweet and velvety in flavor. On the palate substantial, full bodied and concentrated, long, minerally finish. Impressing.

Really performing well right now. Sweet red licorice on the nose, followed by a tad hand lotion, perfumed and fresh. Nice rich fruit, sweet tobacco, red currant, sour cherry syrup. A bit of a sappy characteristic to the texture- holding its weight pretty well. Tannins have opened up and integrated well. Much better than expected, and beautiful to drink right now. For me, right where I like it, yet no rush to finish these off ( though probably will as it's delicious). *give it a good decant. Bonus points because I couldn't keep my hands off the bottle on this one. Very tasty.

Best Chianti Classico I ever had. Very good balanced, powerful fruit of black berries and wonderful tannins. Decanted for 6 hours. Very long finish. Too bad that my english is not good enough to describe this wine as good as the wine was. I will try to get more of this for 30€ per bottle. Compared to the Bourdeaux price really cheap!

Vibrant and delicious wine. Tannins have resolved beautifully, this wine is still very much alive and has a great balance now. Drink or keep.

Last bottle. Such a nice expression of aged chianti/Sangiovese.

Outstanding. Drank with dinner of Lasagne and Porchetta. Great fruit, mouthfeel and finish. Loved it.
