    December 31, 2020 - This has developed an nice earthy funkiness on the nose - I don't recall that from previous bottles, but I am a fan. Not quite as compelling on the palate, but for the money this is nice.

    1/3/21, 10:47 AM - I opened this bottle on NYE, but this is almost as good today (three days later). The funk I commented on has disappeared and we’re left with earthy cherry fruit on the nose.

    I know some folks seem to be worried about the heat/ripeness of this vintage, but I haven’t tried anything yet that seems overdone, and even after three days this comes across as balanced and classic Chianti.
