A very nice chianti. It presents a rich, translucent garnet color. The nose is of vegetation, like the leaves on a fruit true, and aging red raspberry. As it sits, it takes on the scents of dry earth and stone.
This is a dry, acidic wine with medium tannins. The taste is of cherry and raspberry, and remains consistent. Very simple and straightforward. It has a medium body that leaves a mild dryness and the flavor of fruits dissipating quickly.
Overall, a refreshing and crisp red that would do well with an acidic tomato-based meal, lamb, or lighter meat.

Robe sombre. Assemblage de Sangiovese et de CS (70/30) assez concentré qui se décline en saveurs terreuses, cendrées et de bois brulé.
Le fruit, confit mais occulté par les saveurs précédentes et en retrait, semble avoir une intensité potentielle à venir, et il faudra attendre longtemps pour y retrouver un équilibre souhaité. Tannins encore rugueux.
Ce n'est pas vraiment fait pour les amateurs de subtilité, mais c'est un vin sérieux.
Trop?
(**1/2+). Peut-être plus dans l'avenir ?

Second bottle and I deem this vintage not a good one, nor is it age worthy. Drink now or yesteryear.

Musky cherries with mild oak and stinky (in a good way) flowers

Overall a good wine with some sour cherry and dried black fruit in the finish.

Red plum, wet wood and fennel seeds. There is not much fruit, lot of acidity and firm tannins to it. Either in a dull phase or premature.
