  April 8, 2017 - From a bottle opened last night.
  
  A darker translucent ruby in the glass; the nose is earthy and features red fruits.
  
  Tart red fruits on the palate, good framing acidity, somewhat abbreviated finish. Okay, but no bell ringer.

  February 28, 2015 - Quiet aroma and light red color. Good body and some complexity on the structure. Good powder and spice.

  February 23, 2015 - Ein Wein, der schön zur Pizza passt. Sonst keines Aufhebens wert. Etwas bäuerlich. Das Gut hat schon bessere Jahrgänge hinbekommen.

  February 15, 2014 - A shade darker in color than the '09 Felsina CCR. Nice "chiseled" nose featuring crisp red fruits (cranberry?).
  
  The acidity here is not as pronounced as on the Felsina, but still adequate. Pretty nice for an entry-level wine, and certainly good QPR. I haven't really tried any riserva-level wines from the 2010 vintage, but off several of the normales, I think this will end up being a very good vintage.

  October 4, 2013 - Translucent ruby in the glass; sweet red cherry fruit on a nicely focused nose.
  
  Decent acidity framing the fruit on the palate - nice finish. Not overly complex, but hard to argue with this wine given the price tag. Another in a long line of quality base chiantis available to the consumer - IMO, for plain Classico releases and even base riservas, hard to find a geographic area today with more QPR than Chianti.
