better to keep a few more years, definitely still some heat on this one, very nice spice box and just the right amount of fruits but still a bit tannic.

This is a gorgeous wine. Shows a lovely tension between youthful vigor and bottle-aged fruit intensity. It grows and evolves beautifully, revealing serious structure and a candied edge to notes of cherries, mixed dark berries, fresh herbs, and leather. Lots left in the tank.

This wine needs more time in the bottle before it truly comes into its own, but it already is proving itself to be a great value. A lovely expression of Chianti with fruit, earth, and a little spice on the finish.

Very nice traditional Riserva, lacking only a tang of barnyard and terroir. But lovely.

Rounded, seamless, some tartness, slightly earthy. Pleasantly surprised based on it price point. It has come together well.
