Just entering into its drining window. Austere chianti riserva with little roundness, more a food wine at this moment. Some acidity left, assuring a long lofe ahead. Undebrush and pencil. Little emotions, though and limited pleasantness

New Year’s Eve and not for the first time it is Italian. One does wonder if this has passed its best but there is still a degree of majesty. The tannins have declined and it does lack a tad of depth. Nevertheless a fine wine

Paired this CCGS yesterday with my homemade pizza. First time trying this producer. A very savory wine, Tart dried cherry, tobacco, earthy notes, dried herbs, strawberry.

I love the 2011, so was really disappointed when this one wasn’t good. Must be past it’s prime - tinny, flat, and kind of wet-basementy. Bummer.
