Ruby red with pink-orangey rim, a little cloudy. Red fruits, strawberry, leather, cured cedar, candied rhubarb, vanilla, soil, black truffle, herbs and spices. Medium-high acidity, medium-high silky tannin, and medium-full bodied. Balanced and velvet texture with aristocratic feel. Long mouth-drying finish. Fantastic quality and value.

So pure and clean, in Burgundian fashion, caressing but with tension. A bit of iron, some cherries, medium weight with the expected freshness. Great effort, €22.5 purchased in Italy 3-4 y ago.

Very much what I optimistically expected from an 8-year-old Chianti Classico riserva. Aromatically complex, showing tart red cherries, anise, and iodine. Savory with gritty tannins. Drinks well now and approaching peak.

Über-classic Chianti. Lots of cherries and rustic rootfruits. Oak and hay. Good fruits and bitterness. WIll probably live for long if you got the patience but I like my Chianties young so my bottles will not be getting much older.

After some air, This is really beautiful with some roses on the nose, berries, some rusty cast iron and a sweet fragrance that is more deeply felt and floral rather than in your face chocolate or candy like. The attack on the palate is silky and crafted. The late palate and finish is not fully integrated and feel slightly thin and coarse, which detracts a bit right now but that might mellow with time I guess?

Slightly reductive and closed at first, but opens up with air. Silky fruit, tobacco/herbs and hints of tea. Nice now, but my guess is that this will improve considerably with time.

Cherry kernels super marinated in ionide, diffusing iron like blood from the tongue. Yes, more would be nice.

This is a smooth drinker. Smoke and fab dusty fruit. I want more.

Vinröd klar färg
Italienskt så det skriker om det, härlig träig doft, körsbär, kaffe, tobak
Torrt, stramt, tanninrikt, medium längd
