2008 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
4/27/2024 - acyso wrote: 88 pointsSangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): Must admit I didn't love this. It's a bit prickly, with the lighter vintage maybe not playing harmoniously with the style back in 2008. I've no doubt the wines are better a decade or more later. Anyway, this had a bit of a licorice profile and a hint of oak tannin as well. I wish the fruit expression here was purer, as this did also have a slight diffuse quality to the palate. |

4/24/2024 - Dave Dewar wrote: NR#1 of 3 bottles. Decanted one hour. Very dark ruby. Aromas of blueberry, orange, vanilla, spices, prunes, dried strawberry. On the palate: replays but dominated by sour cherry. Medium body, high acid, XD, medium tannin, medium alcohol (13.5%). Drinking well now but will last for another 5 - 10 years. |

3/13/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 91 pointsWalkabout tasting, no detailed notes. Denser than the base offering but also stays light with silky tannins. Very little aroma here, a bit of clay and red flowers. Very expensive for what it is. |

3/2/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 90 pointsSavoury notes with soft red fruits, hints of dried herbs and gravel on the nose. Palate is dry, less fruity than what the nose suggested. Medium-bodied, fresh and grippy tannins. Good layers of fine aromatics peeping behind the big structure, leading to a taut cherry skin finish. Need more time. Another 2-3 years would open up the wine more. |
