Surprisingly still lots of life left - fruit has mostly faded but the structure is still there - opened up over a couple hours. Echo the leather and mild funk from previous tasters, but it hasn’t gotten out of hand in the last decade. Lovely now and in the next 5 years.

Soft, delicate, gentle with still and edge to the tannins. nice deep red color with just a tinge of brown. Some leather and forest floor. Very enjoyable with a strip steak.

Showed very well. Medium-bodied, light ruby. Very elegant, pure aromas and flavors, still quite lively with a nice persistence on the palate. Red fruit with some forest floor and leather. This was tasted double blind and everyone was very surprised that this was a Chianti Classico.
