  September 30, 2021 - Tuscan WIMPS 2021 (La Trompette): Probably the underdog of today's reds on paper, but acquitted itself very well. Nicely mature rather than in any way OTH. Spicy nose, with sage to match the food. Chewy and tangy on the palate, with plenty of dark fruit and an overriding freshness.

  April 21, 2020 - Now in its last stage (tertiary phase), but still alive and very nice. Brick colour, fragrant, very complex (underwood and leather beneath red fruits) though with good grip and length.This bottle could have last another 4-5 years.

  July 7, 2016 - Bright and lucent colour and just a few signs of age. Typical scent.
  Loads of pomegranate and red currants and an overwhelming freshness (thanks to very good acid) as well as a hint of tobacco on the palate. Rather light bodied and straight, but with spine and a quite long finish. Improves in the glass. Food wine (e.g. roasted pork belly) Very good QPR at 12 Euros.
  
  Selvapiana is a very reliable and fairly pricing Producer at least since three decades. Their simple Chianti never disappoints and is definitely a bargain in great years.

  March 22, 2013 - First one of these in two years, and it's as beautiful as ever. Absolutely knock out aromas that remind me why I fell in love with this wine with expressive honey scented flowers, heavy on the sweet graphite, fantastic cherry, pomegranate, and tar. One of the finest scents I've come across in a Chianti. Palate is intense, showing sweet cherry and pomegranate again, with a pervasive grittiness and overwhelming intensity. Feels way younger than the last bottle I had, actually. Gritty texture and dry mouth feel on the finish, with slightly more mature flavors lingering, but still pretty intense with acidity and tannin. This wine's tasting a bit better than the last, and certainly more primary. This one's begging for food. Interesting... I'm back to thinking I'll hold my remaining bottles for a bit of time. This shows no notion that it's 9 years old...
