Truly in the zone, and it has been for a while. Sweet & sour cherry fruit on the palate with copious acidity and great persistence. Hard to imagine this getting any better, but given how stellar it has been for the past five or so years, who’s to say that it doesn’t have another gear left. I will be drinking my remaining bottles in the near term, as I just love where this wine is right now.

Gorgeous - earthy red & black fruit on the nose, with great persistence on the palate. Really covers the palate - about as good of a wine as I've ever had from this producer.

Gorgeous - seamless and expansive on the palate, red & black fruit - wow, is this in the zone right now. One of those wines where it's drinking so well at the moment that I may not even bother trying to age a few, as it's hard to envision it getting any better.

The first bottle I opened was hideously corked ;^(
Bottle #2 has red fruit and menthol on a nicely focused nose.
Seamless and expansive on the palate - drinking well. My one nit might be a bit less acidity than I usually look for in Chianti, but other than that, delicious. Cherry fruit on the palate, good persistence. Glad I have more.
