Un nez carrément de Brunello. La bouche est encore serrée, le fruit est présent et la finale a encore passablement d’élevage avec des tanins encore rudes. Il a encore besoin de temps pour se fondre. Je suis impressionné par la structure. Très bien +++

Clean crisp notes on the nose, dark red fruit, mushroom, pine forest floor. Fully mature palate with tannins resolved, moderately long finish. At its prime.

This is the second bottle within a week which was suffering from over the hill oxidative madeira notes (the first was a Pichon-Baron '95) but in this case quite marked browning gave a hint of what was coming. Coincidentally they came from the same shelf in my Liebherr wine fridge. This was not quite so bad as the PIchon but enough to consign two-thirds of the bottle to the drain. Feeling paranoid now about that shelf, I replaced it with a Fontalloro '04 from the same place to see how that performed.

Solid Chainti for the price, I thought it aged nicely - probably at the end of its good drinking window
