In perfect form and magically delicious. Dark cherries and soft spice for days. Blackberries, plum. Dry top soil, crushed, dry rock, dry brush, sandalwood, withering red flowers, good acidity, nice evolution, integration and very good wire to wire finish that lasts two minutes.
$20- $25 on release if my memory hasn’t failed me. Another 3-5 years of good drinking.

This full-bodied Chianti continues to drink well, tonight it paired nicely with eggplant Parmesan, Cioppino with red sauce and baked sea bass in a tomato sauce.

Smoldering nose of pure cherry, thyme, and old wood. Excellent racy acidity (as it should have). Dark cherry core of fruit and a dried potpourri secondary that comes from its age. Definitional. Drinking perfectly now. Paired with red sauce pasta with Fraboni sausage.

Rich red fruit, cedar, licorish, tar, tobacco. Good depth with integrated tannins, drinking beautifully now. This Chianti Classico overdelivers at $22.
