  Yes! Finally coming along! No real tertiary aromas yet but deep notes of dark cherry, mulberry, and leather. Let it get some air first to blow of that touch of mouldy cellar (not corked). If you like it young, this is a good spot but it will probably peak in 3-7 years.

  Lovely Chianti Classico. Bright cherry fruit, a hint balsamic, lively acidity, super elegant tannins and perfect oak integration, some spices and pepper, always juicy and mouthwatering with great energy and tension. I like it a lot. Good for drinking now, but will easily hold 5-10 years. - 91 points

  Deep red. Cherries on the nose. Smooth palate, great acidity, persistent integrated tannins. Long. Very good now - on top in 2-3 years.

  Got a half case of this in 2019 for $34/bottle. I've kept hoping I was just being impatient and it was going to age into something more interesting, but at this point it's looking somewhat unlikely. There is nothing remotely bad about this wine -- it's really quite good, and terrific with food -- but I think it's climbed as high as it's ever going to, which is just a shade or two less than I might have hoped. Drink or hold, absolutely no rush.

  One of my favorite Chianti Classicos from a great producer. Old world Sangiovese goodness! Drinking great now.
