February 27, 2023 - This was a superb Chianti Riserva. The fruit had mostly converter to roses and tobacco, with just the right amount of spice (Allspice?) The middle was smooth yet held onto the spiciness, and it flowed right into an old leather and fine dry tannin... .. I knew this wine was better than it had showed in the old tasting notes!!
This is why you let good Riservas age -

March 25, 2020 - The bottle was much less than I expected. Lots of fruit and everything just together in a very smooth mouth. I judge this wine is made for the future. Body is there and adequate acidity. To me, the flavors should break out with time and this wine may become something super special. Right now.....its ok.

December 6, 2019 - Sangiovese (Dig Wines, San Francisco): Clear throughout, light ruby core. Some volatile acidity on the nose. Light and full of soil. A brief flash of sweet, dark fruit, some oak, then herbs and a grainy, tannic finish. Little maturity for a 7 year old wine. It needs more time, but I do worry about the fruit going the necessary distance.
