Try this with a filet mignon with a bourbon cream sauce! Superb! Ruby with blackberry, cherry, and plum aromas. Nice spice, acidity, and mild tannins. Smooth with a medium finish. — 7 months ago
Not too dry but has the notes you are looking for with an Italian red. We had it with steak and would definitely buy it again. — 8 months ago

Dark, shiny red ruby in colour.

Bright acidity and the tannins are softening.

v19. Very good! Nice black pepper, smoked meat and tobacco nose. Fresh, luscious black fruit medley. Clean chocolate finish. Enjoyable. — 2 years ago
Simple and classic chianti but that’s about it. Cherry red fruit and light oakiness. — 3 months ago

This ages so well. A balance of mature and fresh: cigars, tomato leaf, eggplant (first time I think I ever said that!), cassis.
Finely structured tannins, the acids have mellowed a little but still very present.
Who knows how long this one could go but it's a great time to drink it now! — 6 months ago
This up-front, fleshy Chianti is drinking really nicely right now. Pretty extroverted nose shows dark, macerated cherry, iodiney minerality, and a little loamy soil. In the mouth it’s pretty full, with a big whack of fruit initially, some tertiary notes developing and becoming apparent in the back half of the palate. Decent acids and still some soft tannin providing some scaffolding. I’d like a bit more linearity and persistence in the finish but for a ‘18 it’s darn nice. — 8 months ago
Still drinking, wonderfully after 12 years. A fine example of this variety from Italy. — 2 years ago
