  Fully mature--perhaps slightly over. Lightness combined with all the mahogany warmth you could hope for. Finishes cleanly.

  Beautiful colour, quite a gentle red with significant bricking. Great legs.
  Fragrant nose with some savoriness.
  It's quite evolved on the palate, some trace of plummy, cherry fruit but now lots of tertiary notes.
  There's good acidity and, when provoked, a healthy dose of tannin.
  It's certainly ready to drink and there's good structure to keep it going but I assume it will get increasingly evolved.

  Good Sangiovese. Happy with it, like it, improving.
  
  But not worth buying again.

  Nothing short of fantastic CC riserva at this point. Heading to brick in colour, transparent and vivid. No sediment when decanted and approachable almost straight away. I know that this is a very long lived CC, but there was no need to wait once opened. Tobacco dominated, tea leaves and dark cherries on the back end, so savoury and succulent with the usual vibrant freshness, pure chianti character.
