August 13, 2023 - Drinkable, but a little over aged. Probably, in its good times, was an excellent Chianti. This wine , for my taste , should be drank not after 10 years old.

September 8, 2020 - Twelve years old but still many years of life ahead! Some bricking but this wine smells and feels like a much younger wine.
Very aromatic nose of sour black cherry, herbs (oregano), worn saddle leather and tobacco leaf.
In the mouth this is a huge, full-bodied wine. Roaring tannins that feel more like a young Cabernet than an aged Chianti, mouth-watering acidity and integrated but present alcohol.
Flavours of black fruit, cherry, plum, cedar, chocolate and spice.
Tannic, spicy, cherry finish
