  very typical Chianti Classico with tart red cherry sangiovese fruit without the oak overlay of a riserva; a bit weighty (14.5% abv) impedes drinkability somewhat, but still a good QPR wine from an always reliable grower

  already passed its peak. Obviously Riecine changed style: older vintages of Riecine's ordinary Chianti needed at least 5 years of cellaring ..

  Lovely, simple wine, redolent of its terroir. Ready to drink now or 3 years from now.

  Un très bon moment passé avec cette fiole, fraise cuite, framboise, cerise, une touche d'élevage bien intégrée, caramel, menthe. Complexité moyenne, acidité+, longueur moyenne. Élégant et profond. Signes de maturation mais pourrait encore être dans son peak pour les deux prochaines années.
