  Tasted blind. Rustic nose with cinnamon, dark fruits, and some earthy/dusty flavors. Good acidity with strong, drying tannins and flavors of iron and dark cherries on the palate. Nice finish. Nice wine, but could've been a bit more elegant for my taste.

  About as brawny as Chianti Classico could be. Showing plenty mature now, but it needed about 2 hours to open up properly. Closed upon pulling the cork. After a good long decant, balsamic, cherry preserves, garrique, sage, and savory olive took over. Very well made. Serious Chianti. Bravo.

  A bit tight out of the bottle did quite well after a bit of a decant. Classically done world class Chianti style wine with red fruits, balsamic, leather, and spices. Had it with Italian sausage and bell peppers and the wine was just phenomenal with the food. Pretty solid showing overall. Drank this side by side with 1995 Castello di Ama Vigna l'Apparita Toscana IGT
  
  No rush but in a good place to drink.

  This is Chianti! Has aged gracefully and could continue to age for many more years to come. Bitter chocolate, tart cherry, tobacco, wet forest floor, and lots of balsamic!
