October 15, 2014 - lovely young fruit, but that's all there is, balance is not good

April 11, 2014 - on the young side, balance could be better, and a very atypical showing for a Chianti

June 22, 2013 - Last bottle. Popped and poured. Lovely dark garnet in color. Smells of resiny cherry fruit with some damp earth. Tastes of tart cherries. With about an hour of air the wine becomes deeper and richer. This hits above its weight. Excellent wine for less than $20.

May 22, 2013 - Garnet color. Medium body. One hour of air. Lots of spice and earth, with only a secondary amount of red fruit. The attack is best, with a rather flat mid-palate and a brash metallic finish. Past its prime already, perhaps? Acceptable wine, but not worth re-purchasing.

January 13, 2013 - A nice full bodied chianti - top of a standard chianti with more lingering aftertaste than expected.
