  Quite a lot of Chianti (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Pure and balanced, there's a subtlety and hints of maturity blending well with the primary notes. Dark cherry and rose, earth, mint, a touch of tar. Sharp acidity and a smooth palate entry backed up with fine grip.

  I love the 2015 Chianti vintage and I was expecting more from this producer. The classic Sangiovese flavors of tart cherry and earth tones were present, but muted. Perhaps it needs more time in the bottle. While I liked the wine, I've had better 2015 Chiantis from Tenuta Di Nozzole and Viticcio.

  Vibrant with flavours of sour cherries. The initially firm tannins softened up giving structure, a velvety texture and a super mouthfeel, ending with an excellent Kirsch cherry finish. This wine had depth and dimension and in spite of the weight of alcohol I never detected the heat. Simply the fruit and acidity kept all the constituents in balance. A superlative expression of Chianti Classico. CHP 91 pts

  Really really like this wine. classic sangiovese notes. red cherry. earth. damp earth on this one. decanted for an hour but wanted to do more but the mushroom lasagna was ready to eat. Probably good for a few more years but nothing wrong right now.
