It's pretty much gone, no fruit left. Nothing unpleasant, nice but faint nose, good color, just no flavor after one hour decant. Let's see what happens with more time, I have had oldies that tasted like red water at first, then blossomed. No improvement after four hours and unpleasant the next day, so a pour-out or a cellar decoration.

My expectations were not high for this wine given its age but it was really very good. Still very good fruit which had really mellowed well with the underlying structure of the wine. A really very well structured wine. Drink now or over the next 12/18 months

Fairly dark red for a Chianti. Initally closed nose, but it opened up quite nicely to offer up ripe fruits, with wonderful olive and herbal nuances. Nice medium bodied wine. Good acidic structure. Nice.

Vinen har nådd toppen men er på retur og burde vært drukket. Det kunde fortsatt matche en elgstek med fløtesaus.
