55F, PnP. Brick red. Musk, dust and purple fruit on nose. Light/thin but moderate smooth tannins and bit of acidity hold it together well. Spice, cocoa and dark fruits on palate. Pretty nice chianti. This bottle was a gift so know little about it. Notice that the drink by date is well past and long time from the last tasting note. It is still going strong but won't last too many more years...

Excellent, yes heavy in tannins and acids. Paired nicely with food. Our guest was not fond of this type of wine so we corked it and drank the second half the next night and it was fabulous. More fruit, tobacco, and yes still a bit of tannins and acid. Wonderful. Another couple years will just make this wine shine.

Unbalanced on the acidic and tannic side, not good alone. Very surprising. Some of it tastes woo tannins of worst type. Chickenroll with parmesan did help a lot, bur the rest of my bottles remain in the celler another year or two. Will it be better or grow only more to the acidic and tannic side.

Not bad. Earthy with a little spice. Consumed with pasta, definitely a food wine.
