What a lovely wine. Better with age. Medium to full bodied with tremendous complex nose with cherry, dark fruit, smoke, secondary notes, sweet tannins, smooth mouthfeel and long satisfying finish. Best aged Chianti Classico ever for me.

Flowery focused and persistent. The sweet fruit and earthiness come together for an easy drinking yet complex wine that has found it's drinking window.

The pleasant fruit is authentic but understated. It's quite bitter in the mouth, improves slightly with food, air, and as it warms but it remains rough to the end. Overall, it's not a good '06. I see I didn't mention the bitterness 5 years ago so this may be an anomaly.

Nice wine. Leather, Earthy spice, cherry, and a woody note on a lighter frame. Bright, brisk finish. Starting to hollow out in the middle, the best days for this wine are behind it, but still a nice match for weeknight spaghetti. Good value at the $15 I paid.
