  A matter of taste 2024 (Kongresshalle, Zürich): *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory ***
  Glass: Stölzle Universal
  Consistent with my last note. Beautiful wine and certainly the best PQR from the winery. 93

  Jesper Hedegaard tasting. Dark cherries under high acidity and some cherry stones. Probably high potential

  Definitely a notch above the already great Classico. Soft texture but good acidity. Blackberry, black cherry, anise, vanilla, mineral and damp earth. Enjoyable after a few hours open but needs 5 plus years to fatten up.

  Option for the 2023 #NationalChiantiDay was Fontodi’s tremendous Vigna del Sorbo Chianti Classico GS (v19, 14.5% ABV) - a purely spectacular effort already drinking at ease w > a decade to improve. Pure joy to drink. Dark ruby, translucent in the glass. Nose bursts w deep scents of cherries, vanilla, smoke, licorice, graphite, roses, violets, fresh leather, pepper. Palate is overly elegant at the fore, fruit-driven w a vanilla core, lively acidity w dryish tannins emerging as of mid-palate, closing spicy-dry! Wow!
