June 23, 2019 - Dark and red fruit, earth, with still fresh acidity. Drinking well, no reason to wait.

June 2, 2019 - Big CCR. Dark. Smells of cherry and a whiff of oak which reflects the time spent in Allier barriques. Firm tannins. Should hold for several more years assuming the fruit doesn't fade. This could use a decant prior to tasting.

February 28, 2018 - Rich dark red fruit with classic sangiovese earthiness and leather notes. Tannin integrated nicely at this point with enough acidity to keep it fresh and balanced. Rock solid Chianti Classico Riserva in a prime drinking window. I believe it will be solid for another 3-4 years.

October 3, 2013 - Very dark red. Smells pretty good with dark cherry fruit and damp earth. Tastes the same, but a bit austere.
