  Decanted 1 hour. Full rich heavy cherry nose upon decanting. Flavor of full ripe plums, soft lead pencil w/soft light acidity. Finish of light leather. Went well w/Mushroom risotto.

  Quick tasting at a retailer. Unexciting with no tension or vigour.

  Great stuff - this has become my go-to red with pasta when I just want a really good/non-spendy bottle that's easy to drink. (The Selvapiana olive oil from RWC is also really good.)

  Absolute steal for the money. The best Chianti outside of the classico zone?

  Usually a powerhouse Chianti, although it's from the rather cool area of Rufina. IN this vintage, the wine is much more restrained and elegant, and perhaps a bit less concentrated. Classic light ruby with brown hints. Expressive cherry notes on the nose, almost verging on cherry jelly, but also with fine hints of warm bricks and earth, and an intriguing sweet spice tone that is hard to nail down. Medium bodied attack, very good cherry fruit and acidity up front. Fans out on the mid palate to include tones of cherry stone bitterness and an almost citrusy tone. Salivating finish leading into an aftertaste with fine red cherry tones, some earthy tones, and that spicy tone again. A bit warm on the end. This is for drinking now, but I have been following this wine for the last 25 years and it ages astonishngly well.
