  This is a lovely Chianti. Dark berries, mild spices og a touch of violets. The acidity is well integreted with soft, mature tannins. It’s drinking really well right now. Very joyful 👌

  Really quite delicious, and drinking very well right now. Soft, luscious, almost no noticeable tannins, complex with moderate plus finish. Not excessively woodsy, like some gran selezione’s, but very well balanced. An absolute delight to drink. Wish I could still get more.

  Second wine serve on Xmas Eve - medium bodied. Great balance - cherry & plum flavors

  Ok, wow. Much better than the previous bottle. Makes me think the previous bottle wasn't exactly in perfect condition. That one was a bit disjointed and low in acid. This one, damn beautiful wine. Just the right lift from the acidity, grippy tannins, cherries, floral notes. Great stuff.

  Second day tasting notes. Medium to dark garnet, slight orange rim, looks surprisingly mature for its age. Nose is floral, earthy tones, very slight ripe blackberries. On the palate, surprisingly low acidity, grippy tannins, leather, little bit of plums, but sort of disjointed. I think this needs more time. Let's try this again next year. Still an enjoyable wine, but needs to collect it's thoughts for another year.
