Nice mature Chianti. Holding on to its fruit well but softened a bit and a nice tobacco edge to it. No rush.

Really impressed with this. The alcoholic heat is gone leaving cherries, dirt and cigar box flavors. Seems to really have hit its stride now.

Simple et un peu trop acide.
Court en finale.
...à revoir.

Wow, beautiful wine after 13 years. Bright red fruit of strawberry, cranberry, and red cherry. Still very fresh and vibrant with notes of tobacco, earth, mushroom, stewed tomatoes, and spice. Nice acidity and finish. Great over and over the next year or two.

Quelle belle évolution: encore de la violette et des épices, mais le profil évolue davantage vers le cuir, fruit encore bien présent. Il est devenu un vin de bouffe, qui s'accorde très bien avec les pâtes sauce tomate et veau.
