  Bottle decanted for 5 hours. Red plum, spicy, cinnamon, licorice, red roses, tobacco, typical Sangiovese sour cherry notes. The acidity is quite tamed vs some other Chianti. The balance is great. It’s juicy and tannins are well integrated. In a lovely condition to drink now and will certainly keep for at least 5 years or more. Yummy!

  Coming back to this a few years after my last bottle of this vintage. Has improved a bit. Still notes of petrichor, slate, dusty pebbles, currant and black fruit. Less fruit and more baking spice though.
  
  Palette has strong black fruit, earthy, fresh soil, cloves, tobacco, touches of chocolate on the fairly long finish although it has lightened/shortened a touch since my last bottle of this vintage.
  
  Still overall excellent.

  Very similar to last time; still too young. Decanted for 2 hours. Still very fruit driven. Strong but polished tannins in the finish. I would recommend to wait another year.

  Reminiscent of Tig on the nose not so sure about the P - maybe trying a bit hard… hold for now.
