  Fantastic upon opening. Bright red fruits, herbs, and tea. Multidimensional, layered and long. I can see this aging well, based on it's fine structure and balance, but delicious today.

  Outstanding! Plenty of flavor with an elegance that reminds me of a balanced Burgundy. Lots of red fruit, balsamic and dried herb. It definitely got better with a decant. 93-94

  The color of this Chianti Classico is medium ruby with garnet reflexes. On the nose there are pronounced aromas of red cherries, strawberries, ripe blackberries, black tea, cedar wood, little smoke. On the palate the flavors are also pronounced and similar to the nose with sour cherries in addition. This medium bodied wine has a high acidity with medium(+) tannins which are very nicely polished. The finish is very long. I like this Chianti Classico very much. It's at the beginning of its drinking window with many years ahead of it. Glass I used: Zalto Universal

  Really nice, decanted for about 60 minutes before drinking. Peppery and great with spring dinner.

  Really something special here. Beautiful floral nose and a complex, but well balanced chianti with a good amount of black pepper and spice. I’m surprised by other’s reviews as I think it’s in a great drinking window at the moment. Maybe because of the quick decant? Can’t wait to see this evolve. Decanted in case of sediment (none) and consumed immediately over the next several hours
