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 28, 2012 - still for a caveman (I guess that's me!).
June 3, 2012 - Holy Moly, this is so old school it's like made by cavemen. This is no-messing around honest-to-goodness the real deal, the way they used to make it (or at least should have): heavy on everything good but the fruit. I applaud the vintners for sticking to principles.
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.
January 15, 2009 - Sangiovese at Snooth (Snooth, New York, NY): Brownish burgundy, tannic drying, acetone on the nose, not enough sweet fruit. Not enough stuff in the glass. lack of concentration.
May 4, 2008 - The color is a medium-light ruby red. The nose is a little awkward with a sour cherry aroma, but a background of dish soap. On the palate it's very forceful with sour cherry, cranberry, and asphalt. It this point, it's very tannic and acidic. It's possible that a couple of years will smooth this wine out a bit.
November 23, 2007 - Nothing special about this chianti.
November 4, 2007 - We had this wine. We thought it was terrible. (Not obviously corked or spoiled). We poured it down the drain.
Maybe wait a while to open these???
