March 24, 2024 - Deep garnet to ruby. Beautiful aromatics that just scream of central Chianti. Leather, ripe red cherry, herbs, juniper, and warm spices.
Beautiful mouth feel - silky smooth. Dry herbs, dried cherry, blood orange, and a crushed stone minerality. Cocoa finish.
Drinking perfectly right now. Yum!
March 3, 2024 - Love it. Great match with pizza or pasta! Red fruit, structure & acidity. Nice nose & stands up well to most Italian food.
March 1, 2024 - PnP., nearing a peak plateau, a space it will occupy for some time. VG, now, and more so considering my first thoughts when introduced on release. Red-fruited, with a med body, classic typicity, lively acid, etc. From a solar year that required great care to manage. Bravo. Now and the next decade+; likely to improve a bit. For its full potential, it's highly recommended

January 14, 2024 - Good deep red color. Medium to light body. Plenty of berry, a little spice. Fair tannin. Would decant 2-3 next time.
January 11, 2024 - Drinking incredibly well right now. Scored this beauty on clearance at my local Costco. Was marked down to … $6.97! Purchased 18 in total. If only they had more out back.
January 10, 2024 - Pizza Night on the Parkway (Candie's, Mpls): Dark red color. Small glass. Nice, tar, lacy, black cherry liqueur, kirsch, earthy, fine. Similar to a previous note.
January 9, 2024 - Opens up after an hour
January 6, 2024 - Fantastic, dark Chianti withe cherry and good acidity. Had with pizza. The Daughter thought she picked up oysters in it and did not abide
December 31, 2023 - PnP, ready. The last from a bunch picked up at Costco for just $19; crazy good price considering the quality. Crazy. For my palate, this is now in its preferred plateau (I wasn't nearly as satisfied just after release). Acids, red fruits, earth, dust, and some blond tobacco are all settled in their place now; should hold here for several years. recommended+
