This was my last bottle and as good as the previous with a slight balsamic touch added to the medium body, decent depth, lively red fruit, fine minerals and gently tangy acidity and backbone. It's good to have an entry level Chianti drinking in such classy form in its eleventh year but I guess that there is not much more room for improvement. Good+.

Consistent with earlier note from 2011(!). Still a young expression of Chianti. From magnum, may be an explanation of the youthful expressions. Very nice indeed.

Complexity, depth and Tuscan typicity the slight lack of which i complained about some two+ years ago were no longer absent in this bottle. Good+.

Past peak but still very good. Earthy, leather and good acidity. Very good.
