Ruby red with pink-orangey rim, a little cloudy. Red fruits, strawberry, leather, cured cedar, candied rhubarb, vanilla, soil, black truffle, herbs and spices. Medium-high acidity, medium-high silky tannin, and medium-full bodied. Balanced and velvet texture with aristocratic feel. Long mouth-drying finish. Fantastic quality and value.

So pure and clean, in Burgundian fashion, caressing but with tension. A bit of iron, some cherries, medium weight with the expected freshness. Great effort, €22.5 purchased in Italy 3-4 y ago.

Very much what I optimistically expected from an 8-year-old Chianti Classico riserva. Aromatically complex, showing tart red cherries, anise, and iodine. Savory with gritty tannins. Drinks well now and approaching peak.

Cherry kernels super marinated in ionide, diffusing iron like blood from the tongue. Yes, more would be nice.

This is a smooth drinker. Smoke and fab dusty fruit. I want more.
