  Still comfortably sitting on it’s drinking plateau, this is my next to last bottle from a case I bought on release. I’m still getting that note of balsamico that I mentioned previously and this is seamless on the palate. Good stuff.

  深宝石红色，开瓶试了一下状态，闻香有野肉，铁锈，樱桃，蔓越莓和山楂一类果香，入口酸度高，单宁紧涩，细沙细腻，酒液很咸，矿物感十足，红果和草药香气，淡淡培根的味道，后段辛香料，还有橡木桶巧克力的香味，香料感一直延伸到余味，带着香草味和木质香气，开瓶就很好喝，结构感漂亮，酒体紧实。醒酒一个半小时，状态反而有点起伏，闻香有肉鲜，香草奶油，巧克力，些许草药和李子一类的香气，入口矿物感清晰，带着泥土气息，香料混合着李子的果香，些许草本，余味满口香草奶油巧克力，这时候能橡木桶的影响更加突出，但是表现稍微有点平，酒体喝上去反而没有开瓶那么紧凑，感觉中等偏轻一些。随着醒酒时间的增加，酒的状态还在不断变化，醒酒两个半小时，闻香有一些铁锈的味道，草药，香草，香料感明显，入口收口微甜，单宁细腻如粉，泥土，话梅，香料还有香草奶油的味道，醒酒三个半小时，酒的状态继续提升，果实的表现开始凸显，不再是橡木桶的主要戏份，闻上去是青味，草药，李子话梅，辛香料和香草气息，能感受到些许老酒的仓味，香气集中度高，入口是融合的香料感混合着梅果香味，泥土和石墨的气息，后段有甘草和草药味，余味是陈年后橡木桶充分融合的香料味，香气爆棚。一改之前酒体有点偏轻的口感，喝上去更加紧实，集中度也更高，一支可以一直喝一直感受变化的酒，正值适饮巅峰期，法国橡木桶的影响明显。

  The colour is medium garnet suggesting moderate age. Forward dark red fruit; black cherry, hint of balsamic, black olive and earthy and leather notes. The palate is near perfect harmony, no tannins to speak of, but no lack of structure; the sweet fruit and acidy play each other well. And the length, just goes on and on. It has been a while since I enjoyed a Chianti this much.

  I would have to say this is drinking at peak right now - hard to imagine it getting any better, but I still have a couple left in case I’m wrong 😜
  
  Expansive on the palate, with a hint of balsamico on the nose. Deelish, simply deelish!

  In the perfect spot with beautiful fruit and nicely developed secondary aromas, tannins pretty much revolved but good acidity.
