  Cherry on finish charred. Went well with rib roast

  Bright, earthy, and mature, showing notes of cherries, cedar, and herbs. Displays very good balance, structure, and texture. Sneaky length on the nice finish.

  Clearly still in its youth, needs time to develop. Also tasted a 2009 of this during the same tasting which was very nice. Much more silky and more dried fruits and a nice long finish. Confident the 2015 will get there as well in 5 years or so.

  A test from this producer, mainly to get more feeling and impression for Chianti C again,
  pnp, very light- coloured in the glass, like the Chiantis I do remember from the last century.......,
  spicy nose, savoury sour cherry,
  on the palate a very adstringend showing, acid driven, somehow unpleasant and a little unapproachable, needs air, a lot of air at the moment,
  in CT-user 424Westend words: too thin, lacking body! ;-)
  maybe needs some time in the cellar,
