November 9, 2016 - Monthly Tasting Group HWS #113; Italy: Chianti Classico Riserva (By BS): Beautiful bouquet with more depth than the first wine in this flight. Beautiful dark berries, some plums, cherries and development. On the palate a slightly sweet start, chocolate, earth, leather, forest floor and autumn impressions. Some herbs, firm but good acidity and slightly drying tannin. Overall a beautiful and complex wine which is showing its maturity, but also still has some power for a few more years. Beautiful wine.

March 21, 2016 - A few Italians with friends (St. Joseph Day celebration for Kallende): Seems to be at maturity or damn close. Pop and pour, this took about 20 minutes to blow off some bottle stink and was great. Ruby in color, some purple at the core. The nose is cherries, slight dark cherries, roasted herbs and tea leaves. On the palate, lots of cherries and some dark cherries. Nice complexity. Good acidity. Tannins seem resolved. Good finish. Great with food.

May 19, 2013 - Drinking very well now. A bit more mellow. Nice medium to full body wine, excellent with a good Italian meal. Paired with roasted chicken breast stuffed with fontina, sage and procuitto. Accompained by roasted onions and potatoes and an arugula salad.

July 9, 2012 - Full body, great Tuscan terrior, blackberry, a bit barnyard, cigar, medium to full tannins. Suggest drinking with Italian food for best experience.
