Definitely not far past prime in my opinion. Drinking very elegant. Soft spoken, multi layered, classical chianti. Beautiful! Drinking far better than what some other's notes suggest. Glad I have 8 more in the cellar to enjoy throughout the year. Definitely drink up, if you have any.

Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep blood-garnet color with reflections of brick and mahogany. Nice mature bouquet of faded dried red cherries, boysenberry liqueur, stewed tomatoes, pine needles, eucalyptus, leather, tobacco spittoon, dried clay, balsamic, cardamom. Similar on the palate, medium-full body, balanced, nice tannic grip. In graceful decline but still excellent with pasta and tomato sauce.

More muted than the others, but that's Italian wines for you! Inconsistency is their Moto! lol. Still beautifully elegant

Still got some fruit. Plums and some licorice. Wish I had a new bottle for comparison. Very surprising ! Aged very well.
