  Deep purple. Very young red fruit and balsamic nose. Quite wild. Lots here for the future but a definite hold until 2026ish.

  A fantastically elaborate nose of sour cherry, dried oregano, potting soil. Copious tannins. Palate favors the earthy side of the bouquet right now. Several years to go until maturity. Very far away from cheap n cheerful Chianti — a wine of complexity and pedigree. Not as multifaceted as this producer’s more prestigious cuvées (like Percarlo) but the same attentive and skilled winemaking is at work here.
  Score: 93-94. Relative to expectations: ++

  Farven mørk, tæt, dog gennemsigtig og man kan se bunden. Skinner noget. Begyndende granatfarvet. Duften pæn åben og har tydelige modne noter med bitterkerne. Modne kirsebær og blomme. Også noget chokolade. Flot nuanceret. Smagen lidt lukket og hård, men er dejlig. Tanninen og syren præger den lidt. God stor koncentration og frugt. Dog alt for ung og kunne godt have ligget nogle år endnu. Eftersmagen er lang.

  Tasty bottle. Sour cherries and plum. Nice tannins. Very well balanced. Acidic, but not overly so for a chianti. Good bit of oak in here. Medium finish. The more I drink of this bottle, the more I like it. I've upped the score a couple times before posting.
