  Dyp mørk, liten antydning til aldring. Litt reservert duft av kirsebær, lakris og et svakt streif av provencekrydder. Stram og syrlig i anslaget, reservert og ganske lukket til å begynne med, men den våkner til liv med et stykke tørrmørnet t-benstek, for denne chiantien trygler om et godt kjøttstykke å bryne seg på! Her er mer kraft enn finesse, fortsatt litt uforløst frukt men med god konsentrasjon, heftig syre og tanninnivå som i en ung nebbiolo. God matmatch, men ideelt sett burde nok denne hvilt i fem år til. 90 p med potensial for et par ekstra.

  Still full of colour, dark ruby. Heady nose of ripe black cherry, cloves, with well integrated toasty oak. Powerful palate, black cherry, fine, grippy, dusty tannins, kept in balance by fresh acidity. After 10 years, this is still an incredibly young wine with lots to give. Delicious now, but I suspect even better in 5 years time once it mellows a little.

  Sloppy Seconds Mondo Tasting (Bin 75): Wow, a throw away bottle at the end of the evening turned out to be one of the most impressive Chiantis I've ever had; rich and structured with edges rounded enough to let this drink really well, holding up well and lots of life left, better than most Brunellos out there, very classic Sangiovese.

  2006 Chianti Tastings Blind (Bell's Wine Shop, DC): Again a touch muted upon opening with some piercing acidity on the palate but with time it begins to show some earthy truffled elements with ruby red cherry. A nice food wine

  2006 Chianti Tasting (Bell's): Creme caramel, toffee, light chocolate and saddle leather are the main components of the nose. Relatively simple wine, with almost a fruit cake type of taste.
