April 23, 2021 - Declining. Mushrooms, soy sauce, old leather. A slight hint of chery and orange peel. Bet it was nice 5 or so years ago.
July 14, 2020 - Dark ,rich, enough acid, almost new world,drinking well!
April 10, 2020 - As for Jan 2020 note.
January 18, 2020 - Still strongly dark red for such old Chianti - fragrant with cherry and cedar - soft but with acid backbone in the palate - very lovely
July 19, 2019 - Perfekt to drink now
August 19, 2018 - Tastes young. Nice secondary flavors. Punching above it’s weight.
August 17, 2018 - Not stored in ideal conditions and clearly over the hill. Dry fruit, liqurice.
December 16, 2017 - A bit woody, but nice depth, acidity and some structure.
June 1, 2017 - Last bottle from a case. Still looks like a Cabernet. Muted nose. Plenty of tannic grip. I like this wine, but the cab is too dominant for my taste. I prefer the cherries from Sangiovese that get obliterated here by the presence of the 10% Cab in this blend. Well made and tasty, but not really Chianti.
March 3, 2017 - Still in the drinking-window but dry and dusty. Missing the fruit and the softness older vintages of Querciabellas had.
