Drinking nicely though some lingering tannins suggest will continue to age well for a few years. Some ripe cherry that remerges more strongly on the finish. Light notes of cedar and pencil shaving.

perfectly aged and able to deliver the essential DNA of this cru. Some fruit left, tertiary scents and underbrush coupled with balanced oak. A perfect ensamble of what you culd expect from a first class chianti riserva. Drink up

This was my last bottle and it is definitely ready, if not, possibly on heading toward the backend. Not a decline, but the fruit has subdued just a bit. Solid pairing with some Sunday sauce.

Dark cherry, balsamic, eucalyptus, and cigar box. Really nice wine, quintessential Tuscan wine to serve with an Italian meal.
