January 25, 2024 - Rich dark red, with a little fading on rim. After PnP, the nose is sweet with cherries and dark fruits. Cigars and herbs as well. Very well balanced, medium body with some nice grip. Somewhat unidimensional but really quite enjoyable to drink. I expect that this will fare better with some further decant/aging. But go ahead and drink.

September 29, 2023 - Had with rigatoni and meatballs after 30 minute decant.
Needed a few hours to open up. Was better at room temp vs out of the wine fridge.. Nice quality wine, reserved, but in balance. Tannins were mouth coating. Overall no compliants, but would not buy again at this pricepoint (as we like some chianti classico just as well at almost half the price and the CC is probably more food friendly).1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 17, 2023 - Pretty tart out of the bottle, this needs several hours of air and/or food. Cherry, tobacco, walnut wood. I enjoyed this but more cellar time would certainly help. Some upside.
