October 29, 2020 - Has matured well and is in a good drinking spot. Substantial wine, clearly Sangiovese but with heft. This is not your everyday Chianti Classico. Very good to excellent but not completely my style. Drink now but will hold for a couple of years.

November 3, 2019 - Having recently tried a 2015 I'm still not sure if these bottles are flawed or if its a characteristic of the 2007. Hence I'm not rating this bottle
Baked note really shows on opening and bother on nose and front palate but fades by finish.
at 15% this isn't a light wine and while the fruit isn't prominent there's still a lot of power to it and a fair amount of oak evident.
funnily enough if anything it improved having been open a couple of days
My last bottle of what has been an interesting if somewhat confusing experience from a case of wine. -

June 24, 2018 - better showing this time around. Less of the baked note on this bottle (although a touch evident towards the end of the bottle the follwoing day).
Think I have a bit of a better understanding of chianti wines now and this was a very decent standard. A good presence of fruit and decent acidity without being OTT.
Drinking well now. -
