2010 Bibbiano Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Capannino
1/19/2024 - Brett H Likes this wine: 93 Points
My 8th bottle and no bottle variation as yet for me. Lovely nose and fantastic acidity - the amount of acidity is reminding me of Chianti Rufina wine, but the sweet, fruit and tertiary fruit does not.
Drinking very nicely now, but still quite tannic so will try and drink my last bottles over the next 5-10 years.
Yum!

2008 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Riserva

Have always found this wine a little underwhelming and lacking complexity. It’s good, but I will probably not go out of my way to buy again. They seem to have too many cru type wines that suck away the best fruit from this riserva and anata leaving both a bit sterile

2010 Fontodi Chianti Classico
1/7/2024 - Brett H Likes this wine: 94 Points
I really enjoyed this bottle, it was well balanced and had the perfect amount of age for my taste - though could age longer and improve in flavour though not sure the balance will get better. There is still some sour cherry flavour, but also rich tertiary characteristics such as mushrooms, spice, cigar and leather. Good nose, but thought the nose on previous bottles was better
Has a richness of flavour that comes with well aged Sangiovese that for me tugs at the pit of my stomach in a good way - not sure if anyone else gets this feeling?
