Double decanted four hours before bringing over to a neighborhood dinner party featuring artisinal handmade pizza. Pours an opaque dark ruby robe nearly black in the middle with a beautiful orange-pink rim. Somewhat discrete nose, but swirling brings out dark cherry, plum, soaked orange peel, with touches of violet and varnish. Beautiful with that enticing oxidized note I love. Savory. Medium+ body with very good acidity. 2006 was a very good year in the Chianti zone, and this will easily make it to 20 years of age in really good shape. Was an excellent pairing with the experimental pizza as you'd imagine. 92-94

Might have gotten a 94 if I was eating lasagne! But it was still tasty with spicy napa cabbage and T bone. Smooth tannins. Tobacco, dried roses, dried cherries. Like it!

Tasted with Joe. Good casual Italian food wine.
