  This is really a superb Chianti classico for a Very low price. I can read from other notes that it is past peak, and that was almost 3 years ago. Not so for this bottle. Still a lot of life even after an hour in decanter. Quite concentrated wit maturity and good length. Still have a bottle left. :)

  Warm copper tone as it was decanted. It took a few hours for the wine to open up. Surprisingly there was almost a fruity taste, very complex. Probably at the end of its run.

  Maturing nose showing blackberries, forest floor and violets. Fruit driven palate with smooth tannins and a long acidic finish. This feels like it's peaking and was very nice together with fillet of veal.

  Nose. Maturing nose showing coffee, cherries and hints of leather and chocolate. Smooth palate with soft tannins and fruit that's starting to dry up and transforms into mature leather and forest floor. This was feeling at best together with the spaghetti bolognese, after dinner it was feeling very evolved and ready to drink up. Best 2012-2019.
