Clear light red with some browning. Surprisingly fresh cherry and berry nose that get a lot earthier with swirling. Still hanging on with nice spicy fruit flavours and a balanced dry finish.

WineFanatic Tuscany Offline (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – Medium red with some bricking near the rim. Beautiful and developed nose of sweet funk, sweeter red fruits and tobacco. In the mouth it’s slightly darker profile with dark ripe raspberries and cherries. There is a boatload of acid with soft and mostly resolved tannins. This is perfectly mature now and drinking so well. The palate is quite smooth and soft then you get hit with acid that keeps it fresh and vibrant for a 16year old wine. Drinking very well now but no rush. Excellent.

Medium red. Very funky, rubber earth and black cherry nose. Dry earthy black cherry fruit and a very fuzzy dry tannic finish.

Impressive chianti rufina Riserva, 23 years and still quite young and vibrant, with cherry fruit and plenty of tannins. Pity it was my last bottle...
