  Farven flot mørkerød, granat, meget klar. Flot dybde. Man kan ane bunden, Duften meget åben og utrolig flot med masser at bitterkerne, mørke kirsebær, urter og noget animalsk. Stor kompleksitet. Begyndende modenhed med en naturlig sødme. Utrolig lækker. Smagen dejlig rund krop med en god frugt. Syre og tannin er pakket godt ind bag frugten. Også en tydelig bitterhed. Stor koncentration og alligevel elegant Drikker nemt. Lang eftersmag uden at være drøj. Virkelig dejlig vin

  2nd and last bottle. Tried alongside 2 other 2018 Chianti's. Medium red color. Firm tannins. Notes of leather and dried cherries. Still 88 points.

  Thought this was drinking very well, but seemingly just entering its drinking window. Great nose with some earthy notes overlaying cherry, red currant notes. Flavors mirror the nose, and the finish is still pretty tannic, but not in an unpleasant way. Good to go now, but still good for some time IMO

  Consistent with previous bottle. Definitely on the upswing. Delicious black cherry and black plum with baking spice notes. Smooth mouthfeel.

  Quite a lot of Chianti (Must & Lees, Warren Street): Savoury and meaty, notes of soy, smoke and plum. Quite sunny, smooth and rich on the palate, acidity and tannic grip aren't far behind and it finishes long with a dark bitter note.
