  A few hours after decanting. Smell of sun-ripened dark plum, wet stone, and a trace of vanilla. Heavier in weight, fruity, and still elegant. A medium-length finish reveals a slight lift. Very, very good Chianti.

  As it goes with Fontodi VdS, the quality is there. In spades. Turns almost liquore like after few hours open. The tannins are very fine. The wine is bold and rustic. With time in the glass it shows more and more elegance with a juicy, moderate to long finish. An intriguing vintage.

  Terrific Chianti. Red fruited with a crystalline quality to the fruit. Fine if somewhat astringent tannins. Really fantastic at this point. Will
  Soften and deepen but great with pasta at this stage.

  블랙베리, 블루베리, 산딸기, 동물성 향, 버섯, 흙 내음
  보통의 끼안티같지 않고 bdm이나 바롤로 같은 뉘앙스도.
  강한 오크의 느낌이 있지만 그게 또 싫지않다.
  멋진 밸런스며 좋은 산미며 부드러운 타닌에 강건한 구조감까지.
  이 가격에 이보다 좋을수 있을까 싶은 와인.
