March 5, 2024 - Wow! Bought 2 mixed cases of chianti recently and started drinking them. Just from my local retailer with scores over 89. Popped this cork during the week. What a nose. Like a better than average Brunello! I'm going to drink it as such over the next 5-6 years and bought enough for that. Under $22 a bottle. My best bargain for a fine wine in years.

February 17, 2024 - Popped the cork and gave a few hours before first sips.
Really flavorful and popping with sour cherry, strawberry, and raspberries.
Compact and focused. This should only improve.
Really quite impressive and selling for a song at $22 USD
This can drink very well for the next 10 years. 93+ -

February 12, 2024 - Light bodied, especially for a CC Riserva. Not bad, but it did not live up to my expectations given reviews.

February 9, 2024 - Belle acidité et bonne intensité.
Sur les cerises surettes et le poivre.
les tannins sont charnus et la finale de
belle longueur. Mieux avec l,aération et le temps.
