This is a tasty, elegant Chianti where the savory elements and fruit have equal billing. On the nose, aromas of earthy spice, dark cherry, leather, and a slight hint of dried herbs. The palate has plums, dark cherries, and dried fruit with a beautiful underlying layer of leather, earth, clove, and orange zest. The persistent finish leaves a lovely taste of dried fruit and spice on the palate. Some slight hints of grilled meat come through in the finish as well. So tasty. Soft on the palate, although tannins are slightly drying in the finish. Notes are based on pour from bottle on 2nd day, as 1st day my taste buds were a bit off due to recovering from a cold. Medium bodied, medium+ acidity. Thanks to @Tom Casagrande for making me aware of the Rufina subzone. — 6 days ago

Transparent ruby color. Sweet, but elegant. @2200, Osteria, 180309
Good aroma, ripped flavor, but mid body. Good balanced between tanning and acidity. Mid body but robust taste structure! @2200, Osteria, 180719 — 8 years ago

Wow amazing forest floor and mushroom smell but really structured and elegant. Long finish perfectly in balance. Very impressive for 46 year old wine. — 10 years ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits, floral and smoky oak, mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo, Colorino, and Malvasia Nera, from Rufina subzone. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors with garden herb notes, cacao and tobacco notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and an earthy smoky spice character. Nice! — 7 months ago

Damn near perfect. Explosive nose of floral rose and wild flowers. Finish once it got going was endless. Really what more can a wine give. Bravo — 9 years ago
