  The last one of six. Been in my cellar for 15 years. Past its prime obviously but a solid accompaniment for a northern deer osso bucco.

  This has gone! Brown and medicinal! Sadly have another 3 in storage. Could be the bottle but other 2 haven’t been great!

  Great acidity considering age….2008 in 2022 flowers and long taste!

  Beautiful. Paired with lamb shoulder perfectly. Soft tanins.

  Charming and rounded Chianti Classico. Spiced plum and raisin on the nose. Rich and smooth dark stewed fruit on the palette. Not many abundant secondary flavours, as they are overpowered by the hot, Amarone-style, piquant finish from the alcohol. Shown as 13.5% but I'd wager a tad more from the chunky legs. Either way this is a lovely, inexpensive wine in a good place.
