  Less advanced than the last bottle. Pretty much in line with my note from March 2021.

  Ripe strawberry, licorice, and some rosy florals. The rich 2017 fruit here was really front and center, robbing the wine of the grace and energy that I recall from other vintages. AG’s 2037 drinking window seems extremely optimistic, but I do think I’ll give my second bottle 3-5 years to see where this goes.

  Pretty consistent with previous note apart from a bit more development in this one. I thought that the alcohol came through a bit on the finish which I haven't picked up earlier. Seems like this vintage is aging fast.

  Soft, fruity chianti. Not too much oak here and the fruit is allowed to do all the talking. Easy going, fairly straightforward and well made, I enjoyed this, though not your pure Sangiovese fruit here - more on the plummy side of things (dash of canaiolo?)
