Still holding up, colour a nice garnet now but still intense, lots of dried fruit flavours of strawberry, cherry and raspberry combined with dried herbs, mushroom, leather, earthiness; fully developed now. Super soft tannin, still sufficient acidity. Finish really long, lingers on and on. A pleasure to drink now. @finewinexplorer

End of plateau here. Tannins resolved and still some fruit on entry. We have lots of secondary flavors or leather mushroom and herbs. Just a joy to drink here.

(Antinori Chianti Classico Riserva Badia a Passignano) Dark bricking cherry red color with pale to clear meniscus; nice leather and spicy cherry nose; tangy, leather and tart red fruit palate with a touch of shitake mushroom; medium finish (never released in U.S.)

Side by side testing the 97 and 99...the 99 was much better with still a good tannic backbone and length. Both however were still very much alive

Still has a tannic edge and I think just entering into mature stage.
