  • 2019 Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico

    Bright cherry red. Very crunchy nose, cranberry, redcurrant, peppery, emerging mushroom and forest floor, super! Red crunchy fruits open the batting, puckering but excellent tannin and acidity, bright and very lively . Really good and age will evolve this further. Day 2, this is exceptionally good. Crunchy bright red fruit, lively with pep in the background. Sangiovese of class.

    Bob's cellar. Brilliant golden yellow colour - bright and shining. Nose kicks off with a waxy lemon/lime zest, distinct oiliness, herbaceous grassiness, slightly muted which is great. A hint of spritz on the tongue, muted lemon zest, refined poised acidity, all very very good. Some air softens the edges and warmer honey notes emerge, all precisely defined still. Exceptional and again, absolutely love this wine.

    Bob's cellar. Pnp - ruby red, evident bricking. Nose has a reductive funk, very distant red cherry, black pepper, twist of liquorice and menthol, a sharp red acidity edge. Muted on tasting, faded acidity, all very subdued. Hmm! Needs to evolve. A few hours later the nose has developed more dark fruit, black cherry, and the bright acidity is still very present. Taste has developed too, tannins are firm, bright redcurrant is sharply there, some cigar box and compost base layer, earthy and mushrooms. Mature and ok, not that exciting. Agree with others on this needs drinking up.

Sometimes I think my winery, if I had one would be best called 'Clutching at Straws' or 'Chasing Shadows'. Hope you are still making steady progress through your father in law's cellar. Fight the good fight!

He loved and collected wine for over 40 years so he left his daughters (and me!) an amazing cellar of aged wines. I am slowly working my way through a chunk of it...the rest was sold
