Nice fruity nose, a hint of spice. Intense taste on the mouth and long aftertaste, pleasant acidity, clear notes of oak. Improved over 6 years in cellar from my recollection of purchase in 2008.

A lot of wood here, in addition to dark berries. Quite silky texture. Fruity, warm, compact and very concentrated. Bitter finish. Is probably better with food. Impressive, but not my style.

Nice Chianti, if overpriced. This is completely different than the '01. This one has some nice red fruits up front (even some dark fruit notes) and softer, sweeter tannins. The '01 was huge and just now loosening up on the tannins and showing wonderful fruit. So, this one is good but no comparison to the '01.
