  Deep garnet to ruby. Beautiful aromatics that just scream of central Chianti. Leather, ripe red cherry, herbs, juniper, and warm spices.
  Beautiful mouth feel - silky smooth. Dry herbs, dried cherry, blood orange, and a crushed stone minerality. Cocoa finish.
  Drinking perfectly right now. Yum!

  Love it. Great match with pizza or pasta! Red fruit, structure & acidity. Nice nose & stands up well to most Italian food.

  PnP., nearing a peak plateau, a space it will occupy for some time. VG, now, and more so considering my first thoughts when introduced on release. Red-fruited, with a med body, classic typicity, lively acid, etc. From a solar year that required great care to manage. Bravo. Now and the next decade+; likely to improve a bit. For its full potential, it's highly recommended

  Good deep red color. Medium to light body. Plenty of berry, a little spice. Fair tannin. Would decant 2-3 next time.
