  A late-night supplement to a prolonged dinner, performing well in the circumstances. Strong core of cherry flavor, with a dry woodiness and slightly raspy tannins providing impressive structure. Fair amount of acidity and leathery flavor. Fine for drinking now.

  First note but fourth of six. This is now past its prime. Looks fully mature and has some attractive savoury elements. The fruit is a ghost, clinging on to its corporeal form but destined to live on only in the memory. Not unattractive for what it is but not as balanced and interesting as earlier bottles. I fully expect someone to tell me that its best is yet to come and the joys of old chianti have yet to be revealed to me but to my taste, keeping these was a mistake.

  Opened one hour before and then tried in two different glasses. The Reidel Chianti/zin glass being a bit better. Not worth the price or wait.

  Didn't take good notes. Orange rind, sweet/sour cherry and tobacco notes on nose/palate. full body, medium acidity, medium tannins and long finish. Didn't put down a rating but 91+/- seems about right. Prefer the '13, '16 and '17 vintages to this one.

  Still tight. Opened up after about 30 minutes. High toned. Drinking great.
