Color: medium dark red/brown Nose: medium intensity. Very complex -- dried fruits: berries, prunes, and raisins. Body/flavor: medium body. Rich, complex dried fruits: berries, prunes, and raisins. Notes of spice and grilled meat Aftertaste: lingering finish.
Again amazing CC Reserva at age 28! Wine evolved in the glass... constant new expressions without words! Just great to savor and drink!

Medium body. Medium sophisticated aged cherry with some pencil lead. [Not sure what "lead" means in the wine lexicon, but I used to chew on pencils in first grade.] Still drinking well. Really good example of aged (27 years) sangiovese.

Garagiste selection. 13% ABV Color: light - medium brown with brick highlights Nose: complex; dried dark fruits, especially prune and raisin Body/flavor: medium body; very complex -- dried fruit; earthy and leather; a caramel flavor I don't recall previously. Added real complexity. Very little tannin Aftertaste; lingering
Very impressed for a 26 yo Chianti.

Cherry fruit has deepened into the mix with earthiness components pronounced. Strong acidity holds it together. Reminds me of why I love Chianti. Could drink this all day.
