  Who says Chianti Classico can't age? At 20-years, this is pretty damn good. Red fruits are predominant but mostly have given way to the tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, red licorice, and cedar. Nice acidity still with a good finish. Love it.

  Nyårsafton hos P+A med F+AK och barn (Södermalm, Stockholm (P+A)): (Decanted for half an hour, and put back into bottle, From magnum)
  Deep red colour with a maturing nose showing herbs, cinnamon and fresh cut grass at first and opens up with leather and liquorice in a very nice and pleasant way. Still showing tannins on the palate with a fruitful sweetness that is fading away now focusing on more tertiary notes of leather and dried fruit. Best bottle I’ve had of this vintage so far..

  Warm fruit and olives on the maturing nose combined with hints of leather and barn. Still showing some tannins on the palate combined with warm fruit and some fresh herbs on the finish.

  (Decanted for one hour)
  Brick red colour with a mature nose showing leather, stables and forest floor. Opens up with some mocha notes in a delicious way. Smoothing tannins on the nice and warm palate showing a fruity acidity and with a lengthy finish showing tertiary notes of dried fruit and leather. This is much more evolved than the 2006 we had a few weeks ago and is ready to drink up now.
