Had this as Dell Anima opening with Angelo. Very nice. — 6 months ago
Very dark rubi robe, nose of blackcurrant, tarry, tobacco, cherries and a hint of flowers. Very dense and complex mouth, vivid but civilized tannins, medium bodied and long. Classically styled, no excess, top notch juice of the kind you’re left wanting for more. — 3 years ago
Nice radda Chianti riserva but at this point at least not worth the $45+ price point over things like Istine or Tenuta Carleone at ~half the price or Boncie il Cinque at about the same price. Maybe in several years if it evens out? Gave it 3+ hours of air. Really a wonderful nose but the fruit doesn’t express that well and the tannins are a bit muddled. Nice refreshing acid on the finish though. — 5 months ago
Savory and earthy, more to be revealed in time I would think. So young. From Istine’s vineyard in Gaiole. — 3 years ago

Reviewed this vintage 3 times. Last bottle. Still excellent. Keep or drink over the next 2-5 years. Tons of tannins, kirsch, crushed marble. Mostly red fruit , touch blueberry, hint bitter. A reference wine.
