2019 Azienda Agricola Caparsa Chianti Classico Riserva Doccio a Matteo

Wow, this is promising. While enjoyable now, it has an enveloping density to it. Really pure Sangiovese fruit, if a little on the darker side. All of the other herbal, leather, floral components of Radda. I keep coming back to the depth of fruit. If this develops like I think it will, it will end up being really outstanding. I'll probably keep drinking it until it tells me to stop to get a better sense of the development curve of this wine. I'm much more familiar with the Caparsino.

What is this? Super interesting. I think this has skin contact and I think it was aged in clay tinaja. It has a slightly brassy/bruised color. It isn't oxidized but the fruit is on the desiccated side. It drinks more like tea than normal wine (it would probably be really interesting with Japanese food preparations). My last bottle and I'm not sure Eric makes it anymore.

Waxy and fading. Doesn't seem to have the balance to go anywhere. It's certainly dense but comes across as heavy. I should have drunk all my bottles sooner (or maybe wait for 25 years like with white Hermitage). Not my thing.
