September 2, 2013 - seems at its best now, but will probably remain at this level for at least a couple more years.

April 7, 2013 - this has opened up considerably; still needs air, but very pleasant at the opening.

November 23, 2010 - Excellent traditional Chianti but starts off a little closed since it is still quite young. Aromatics are of crushed sage and rasberries.. Palate starts off tight, but over two day opens to a nicely balanced wild / herbacious rasberry driven wine. Has many years left and may develop further.
