  It is in a really good place. A really wonderful nose of violets and cherry. Smooth fruity flavours of blackberry and cherry pie. Wish i had more.

  This wine continues to disappoint. Very acidic, sour cherry, with limited aromas. On the palate this has no complexity and there is nothing noteworthy about this wine other than I can't wait until our cellar is clear so we can use it for other wine.

  This is a reasonable quality wine that is best enjoyed with food. It offers a dry and somewhat tart expression with balanced acidity to cleanse most Italian meals from the palate. The finish does offer a bit of spice. The 2007 Viticcio CC Riserva is a more complex wine in my view.
  
  The wine is fairly straightforward with little development even on the second day. At the price point, it is a fair QPR, but there are many Maremma Tuscans that are more complex, and that offer a better value.
  
  It's hard to see how this achieved a WS 92.

  Popped and poured from a 375 mL bottle at the restaurant. Sweet cherry nose. Bright cherry flavours on the palate. Tannins nicely round and smooth. Medium finish. Paired very well with wagyu beef carpaccio. 5 years old, this Chianti Classico is in a good place now. Drink up.
