February 23, 2024 - Red-black. Aroma of black cherry and tobacco. Oak and cherry flavours, with redcurrant and pomegranate prominent. Solid, tannic food wine, with balancing acidity. Very good.

December 16, 2023 - Cherry fruit, medium body for a Chianti, leans more new word with less old world funky/oaky though it’s still there nicely in the background.

December 23, 2021 - This was really good. Fairly simple, soft, bright cherry, lighter style but well-balanced and delicious.
