  My first aged Chianti. It was lovely and evolved very quickly once it was opened. Probably at its peak after about 45 minutes (not decanted) and by dessert was tasting like raisins...

  Fin chianti med lite fat preg.. integrert tannin.. litt krydrert... litt sursøt( takk merete) og bra konsentrasjon.. kanskje noe for mye alkohol.. sikkert et varmt år. Lang ettersmak digg...fin balanse.. kirsebær dominerer i nese sammen med litt krydrete kanskje grønn nese... i munn er det fortsatt samme inntrykk med kirsebær bra konsentrasjon og en syre som bærer fin... fine myke godt integrert tannin og laaaaaag ettersmak.. alt i slt en spennende chianti classico

  My last bottle. This is still drinking very well. Agree that the raisin note is a bit more pronounced now, which is why I'd say drink up rather than hold longer, but could be wrong and may depend on one's tolerance for that kind of flavor. Really good with pizza.

  High acid with waning tannins. The fruit is pronounced but has taken on a dried and concentrated raisin quality. The acid carries the wine. The wine benefits from being open a little while.
