Opened for dinner with Mom and Dad at Basilico before JRV heads to school. Opened but not decanted for an hour before drinking. Showed a lot of fruit, but not alot of strength. The next day - corked but not pumped, it showed much better (just the little bit left in the bottle).

Had this wine on a trip to Italy. Classic Chianti style. Medium bodied, solid cherry based fruit. Had a wonderful meal at the winery with one of the winemakers. Tried 2001, 2003, 1985, CC Riserva, and their super tuscan Sasello. Very solid wines. 2003 CC Riserva was the best.

Good fruit, ready to drink. A little smoke and spice on the nose and palate.

Crown Spring Upscale Tasting (Boca Raton, FL): A little funk and earth on the nose, high acidity that makes it out of balance with sharp cherry flavors.
