June 4, 2016 - More structure than the 2014 Chianti Classico. Good weight, round with more flesh. Grippy tannins. Good acidity, spicy, long. 91-92+

April 13, 2016 - Vinitaly 2016; 4/10/2016-4/13/2016 (Verona, Italy): Sangiovese with 5% Mamolo, 18 months in oak 30% of which is new. Rich dense fruit, black fruit, nice oak, sweet spice, in the palate is soft silky, nice tannins, same flavor profile as the nose, nice rich mouthfeel, med to long finish. Outstanding and excellent quality for price
