This blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon spent 18 months in French oak. Perfect cork. Deep ruby color. Intense aromas of plum, dark cherry, spices, tobacco, leather. Wine is dry and intense. Medium+ acidity, plenty of silky tannins, taste of plums, cherry and spices. Balanced and long.

The score is unjustly taken down as bottle after bottle I am experiencing crumbling corks. Such a shame for a Chianti that shares many of the tasting profile of Brunello

Decanted 2 hrs. Almost black, opaque. Large bq w cherries, oak, smoke, underbrush, a flowery touch. Medium-to-full body w rounded tannins, good acidity, still plenty of dark cherry fruit, hint of anis. Long, balanced aftertaste w complexity. A very elegant, balanced wine, now at full maturity.

Mature complex nose but slightly metallic taste. Felt like it was time to have drunk some time ago.
