  Wow! Bought 2 mixed cases of chianti recently and started drinking them. Just from my local retailer with scores over 89. Popped this cork during the week. What a nose. Like a better than average Brunello! I'm going to drink it as such over the next 5-6 years and bought enough for that. Under $22 a bottle. My best bargain for a fine wine in years.

  Popped the cork and gave a few hours before first sips.
  
  Really flavorful and popping with sour cherry, strawberry, and raspberries.
  
  Compact and focused. This should only improve.
  
  Really quite impressive and selling for a song at $22 USD
  
  This can drink very well for the next 10 years. 93+

  Light bodied, especially for a CC Riserva. Not bad, but it did not live up to my expectations given reviews.

  Belle acidité et bonne intensité.
  Sur les cerises surettes et le poivre.
  les tannins sont charnus et la finale de
  belle longueur. Mieux avec l,aération et le temps.
