  April 24, 2024 - Lovely Chianti Classico. Bright cherry fruit, a hint balsamic, lively acidity, super elegant tannins and perfect oak integration, some spices and pepper, always juicy and mouthwatering with great energy and tension. I like it a lot. Good for drinking now, but will easily hold 5-10 years. - 91 points

  December 21, 2023 - Deep red. Cherries on the nose. Smooth palate, great acidity, persistent integrated tannins. Long. Very good now - on top in 2-3 years.

  April 5, 2023 - Got a half case of this in 2019 for $34/bottle. I've kept hoping I was just being impatient and it was going to age into something more interesting, but at this point it's looking somewhat unlikely. There is nothing remotely bad about this wine -- it's really quite good, and terrific with food -- but I think it's climbed as high as it's ever going to, which is just a shade or two less than I might have hoped. Drink or hold, absolutely no rush.

  November 13, 2022 - One of my favorite Chianti Classicos from a great producer. Old world Sangiovese goodness! Drinking great now.

  October 21, 2022 - Drinking wine with friends...and eating pizza! It means Chianti has to be on table too! By far the best Chianti I have ever had. Not only that, one of the best wines ever that I was lucky enough to consume. This juice has muscle and power. Spice attacks your tongue at very first second, but ripe black cherry, plum, blue berry keep perfect balance. The wine is 7 years old, but ripe tannins and mouthwatering acidity make this wine elegant and older then its real age. Long finish: tobacco, vanilla, minerals.
