  Initially plush red and blue fruits, earth, cedar. Body and tannins are velvety at times with a little bit on the backend. The tannins mellowed over time. and blue fruit notes emerged. Enjoyed from a decanter over 2 hours. This wine is in a great spot and a great QPR. Wish I had more.

  This is a very good Chianti and is in a great drinking window with proper aeration and an hour decant.
  
  A perfect pair for anything with a tomato sauce or spice. Candied cherries, smooth finish, an awesome representation of Sangiovese.

  From decanter. Milder plush red fruit with hints of earth and cedar. Goes well with spaghetti and red sauce. A drier, woody finish when tasted later without food.

  Similar to last tasting as we finished the Coravined bottle with meatballs, tomato sauce and noodles. Perfectly fine for $14 close-out on a week night with a simple meal at home, but not living up to its $32 retail.

  firm, closed; slowly rustic, ripe, red fruit, mildly earthy,and toasty a touch mineral appears. still pretty tannic, but well balanced, simple, unevolved taste; too young, should improve for a few years
