Bought at auction. Cork was in great shape. 20 minute decant, lovely nose, great bottle of chianti that i picked up for a song. On the lookout for more.

Sweet cherry, grippy tannin, blood/iodine. A very solid wine and shows good complexity for the price. Failed to consult my previous note and thought it probably needed to be drunk, but it definitely didn’t. Last bottle unfortunately.

This is a terrific CCR! Love this wine. This will hold for several more years. Floral aromas, sappy, dusty on the nose. Sweet cherry fruit. Balanced nicely by the acids and tannins. Medium bodied. Long finish. I only have one more left.

Dense and structured, with dark chocolate, cherries, iron filings, tangy acidity and grippy tannin. Seems quite youthful at 13. Better with some air. Can drink now for sure, but holding seems a better option.

Last bottle. I felt this was very good. Easy drinker. Tannins and acids have softened. Time to drink these.
