  Good showing, quite spicy and even a bit brawny next to some older IGT Tuscans. This really needed some air to come out to play, it reminded me of the flashy, rustic style that Vino Nobile di Montepulciano often has, sacrificing some elegance for pizzaz. Based on this showing, no hurry at all to drink these and maybe they even gain a little svelteness with more time in the cellar. Very good. 90-91 pts.

  Loads of leather, cuir de Russie, animal, roasted angus beef... Light fruit, tannin totally integrated, red berries, animal, not too long...

  Still youthful , needs more time for oak to integrate, but very good now , even if it’s in the forte side.

  Light nose of cedar and red berries... A little bit old, taste of ripe red berries, crisp acidity, light tannin present, nice but not great...

  Still youthful, closest to Bordeaux I’ve ever had in Chianti, much graphite.
