  PnD let air for 2hrs.
  
  Consistent with previous notes. Earthy structured tons of fruit. Tons of life ahead. A BDX style of CCR. Great to compare with the Volpaia.

  Couple of yeare ago we bought a 2019 bottle in Antinori center and had to open it because we didn't want to carry it through the flight etc.
  
  So when we had a chance a 2016 bottle in Israel, quite over the top🥺
  
  Cloudy red dull color, with a lot of brown.
  
  Medium body. Medium acidity. No tanines, No structure. Smooth.
  
  Vaguely aromatic, spices, terroir, ageing then vaguely barrels and red & black fruits.
  
  Palate: pepper, anise, licorice, hazelnut, cheese, mushrooms, leather, oak, vanilla, plum, cherry, earthy.

  Has come together quite well. Probably selling the numeric rating a little short. The bottle was open for about one and half hours.

  Perfect with pizza. A really nicely balanced Chianti, dark fruit and nice acid but it still tasted rich and silky enough.

  We opened this tonight for a Greek dinner.
  Lovely Chianti to enjoy with Mediterranean cuisine.
