  December 16, 2022 - Black cherries , plums, earth, nettles, hay, tobacco, very fruity with slughet sour length.
  Dry, medium body, high acidity, medium tannins , medium alcohol , cherries, ceder, tobacco, medium plus intensitet , medium plus finish . Very good quality, drink now, not suitable for ageing but will keep for up to 5 more years thanks to tjat there are still a lot of fruit.

  September 5, 2021 - On day one (no decant), this was an 89-90 point bottle of Chianti- medium-bodied, with dried cherries and some earthiness, and a long finish. Textbook, but not particularly memorable. On day two though, after just being re-corked overnight, the remaining half of the bottle had delightfully softened and added a roundness, with a much silkier finish, yet with no decline in flavors or length of finish. Perfect with grilled chicken. Best served cool, IMO (@60F). Given my experience, I’d think this has 10+ years ahead, if well-stored.

  May 2, 2021 - I had been really looking forward to this, but it came across as a bit weak and disappointing. I certainly didn't get the impression that Thwacker describes in his note from last year - my experience was of a relatively high-acid, low-complexity solid-but-unexciting Chianti. Ah well.

  April 8, 2021 - Denna flaska var bättre än den förra. Är dock sannolikt i fönstret för sin topp nu. Dricker sista flaskan inom 1 år.

  January 1, 2021 - Hade högre förväntningar på detta till pizzan på nyårsdagen. Fortfarande ett bra vin men frukten har nästan dött ut och det blir inte helt balanserat till smakrik pizza. Provar nästa flaska inom ett år.
