  One of my fav CCGS producers. Wine #6 in the top 100 of Wine Spectator in 2014. Upon opening this had wonderful vibrant red cherry on the palate but after 30 minutes it was more dark and subdued. Perhaps this bottle getting to the end of it's best drinking window. black cherry, cherry, leather tobacco earthy

  Drank from a magnum. Smooth tanins, dark fruit. Overall a good Chianti but I expecting longer finish and dept.

  A lovely CCGS and drinking wonderfully at 14 years. Present tannins but well integrated. Sour dried cherry, Tuscan earth, leather. Wine #6 in the 2014 WS top 100 list. One of my fav CC producers.

  Same score as 2 yrs ago. Nice red fruit, crisp acidity, good match with red sauce. Still holding strong.
