This wine was drinkable upon opening the bottle. It mellowed and evolved over the course of a few hours. Earthy, musty, spice, leather... a bit hot, but definitely fabulous. I never "liked": a Chianti until I met this one. I'm now a big fan.

This wine is mellow, slightly earthy. Dust and pepper. not too fuity. Open and decant an hour or two before serving. I have a few bottles to cellar, and look forward to trying this with a little more aging.

Stand out at the wine tasting. Opened a bottle at home, and just as good as I remembered. This one we need more of for sure.
