  Quite a lot of Chianti (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Dark fruit, tar, spice, fresh leather, violet freshness. Raw, with a sense of untamed power. Oak is there, needs time to integrate. Smooth and resolved on the palate, a pleasant pulpy character offset by good structure.

  Fragrant, intense, perfumed aromatics are elegant with notes of red cherry, cinnamon, red floral, sweet spice, and clove. On the medium-full to full-bodied on the palate it has very good fruit concentration with lovely aroma replays of red cherry, floral, sweet cinnamon spice, and savoury earthy notes. It has very good acidity and some structure to the slightly chalky textured tannins. Excellent length on the long, savoury, and juicy finish. Gorgeous!
