PHAT Sangiovese.
Ultra non-typical Chianti.
I interpret this as an attempt to make the best possible wine that these grapes could ever aspire to become. And I think that Antinori is on to something! (As we all know, they created Tignanello.)
Looks like a rather dark, maturing Bdx.
No cherries in sight on the nose, rather my grandma's old upstairs toilet. Fresh fish. Washing powder. Soft vinyl in the sun. Unusual but rather lovely nose.
Palate: Still young, with the rich fruit that hides its tannins (still noticeable on my teeth). Long, complex, superbly balanced, jawdropping, and possibly a tiny cherry trying to hide in a corner...
I dare you all for a btl of this magnificent juice in 2030, 2040 and beyond. It's coming around nicely! -

January 27, 2021 - Fully mature and drinking well straight out of bottle. I agree with other reviewers that this is a slightly riper style of Chianti than I prefer, but it is still a great food pairing wine.

October 26, 2020 - Bu chez les amis du Hockey samedi soir,
4 couples pour accompagner les anti-pasto et
le pain toscan de même que les canapés avec la
Mozzarella di bufala campana du Buon Apetito
de Bromont.
Super bon et bel accord.
Nez sur les petits fruits, les épices et les herbes.
En bouche, suave et bien nourri.
De la petite cerise avec du poivre et un peu de balsam.
Les tannins sont bien polis et assez fins avec
une finale très longue et suave ou rien n`accroche.
Encore une autre très belle bouteille!
