November 26, 2023 - Fresh, bright, lifted, evolved but not matured in sense of tertiary aromas. Delicious, dark cherries, espresso, dried tomato, with medium weight. Convincing throughout, really thats what I want from CC riserva. With 'some merlot' to smooth edges out. Loved it. 13.5%

January 26, 2023 - Coming into full maturity - still bright with 3 hours decant (it def needs the air). Fairly classic Chianti. Nice spice notes over red fruits.

February 20, 2022 - Mogen tung komplex smak jordig på ett mjukt sätt
The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, petrol, raisin, plum and bark. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. -

March 20, 2021 - In line with my previous note of october 2019. Good and solid, clearly on the modern side of the spectrum, the merlot-influence is noticable (acidity not that elevated, leaving room for some bitterness). Well made.
