April 6, 2024 - PnD let air for 2hrs.
Consistent with previous. Complex with tons of life ahead.
Love the elegance. A Burgundy CCR. Great comparison with the Antinori. -

January 27, 2024 - My last wine sampled so keep that in mind. Rather large scaled and more of a dark fruit profile than typical of chianti--but didn't seem to be out of balance. Firm papery tannins noted. Needs some time but drinkable now.
