Community Tasting Notes 10

  July 8, 2019 - Now the color is turning to garnet, especially visible on the nail. Intense nose of leather, soil, black fruit. The same are found in the mouth, with very smooth tannins, still lively acidity, and long persistence. Now great but it's reaching its peak, maybe few more years before it can be on the descendant side (mine traveled across Europe).

  January 6, 2017 - Nose of raspberry, a bit of licorice, rose petals. Medium body, high acidity. Very fresh and tight; everything is on its place, no signs of evolution in the red fruit. For me, it's on its peak (although some would like more evolution in ιτ). A very elegant interpretation of Chianti Classico, nothing rustic here.

  December 28, 2015 - Perfect ruby color, not too dark. Cherry at the nose and very good persistence in the mouth. Very good value per money.
  Update Mar 2018: perfectly evolved wine, still few years before the top. Persistence, light tannins and a balanced acidity make this a perfect pair for a good steak.

  July 10, 2015 - Transparent bright ruby. Savoury aromas of sour cherries, black tea, sage, tobacco and a whiff of horse stable. Fairly slender on the palate, ripe but not extracted, has good concentration and balance with medium alcohol (13%). Smooth texture but slightly bitter tannins on the finish. The expression is honest and old-school, very sangiovese, better than most Chianti Classico but a bit more rustic than Montevertine.
