  Very good wine. During a meal, the taste evolved to culminate as a rich and well balanced blend of flavours.

  Red fruit (cherry), tobacco, leather, nice spice. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Better with an hour or two of air.

  Le nez : Le nez dévoile beaucoup de mures et de cerises avec une touche d’herbes.
  La bouche : En bouche, c’est ferme, corsé, dense mais assez harmonieux aussi! Un beau fruit rouge et un peu d’anis avec une pointe de terre et de cuir avec cette belle acidité qui rend le vin frais. Les tannins sont charnus et un peu serrées avec une finale longue et vaporeuse.
  Un très beau Chianti charpenté et savoureux!
  J’avais aimé le 2007, le 2008 semble avoir un brin plus d'acidité, il est plus structuré et bâti pour tenir la route plus longtemps!
