Dark cherry freshness, with a savoury pinch of dried herbs and a deeper, darker whiff of mushrooms / undergrowth / roast. Very pure & enticing.
On the palate this show v. nice balance and great freshness (2019!). Nice dark, sweet cherry with brambly, juicy (and nicely polished) tannins, fresh acidity and a herby, savoury finish.
A very proper classic Chianti - finally balanced after all these super hot vintages. — 3 years ago

暑い年を感じさせない丸くて柔らかな果実。
その後に、小梅的な旨味のある酸がジワジワ。

Fresh & sappy with loads of dusty cherries and a touch rosemary and thymian. Pretty light on the palate but with a nice tannic grip. Very juicy with a nice uplift toward the end. This is drinking very nicely. — 8 years ago

Got two bottles with dinner. Definitely some variation. The leather, earth, herbs was present in both. One had more fresh fruit with cherry and currant while the other was more dried and savory. Both outstanding value for 9 year old Sangiovese. The amazing food also helps! — 3 years ago
Really nice. Nose hits right out of the gate. Loads of savory, gravelly minerality, a balsamic note, dried sour cherry underneath. Serious in the mouth. No fruity frivolity here. More on the austere side, with loads of tangy, dark savory notes, good acids, still a bit of puckery tannin. Too demanding to sip on its own but dynamite with a chicken dish that featured lots of herbs and was braised with tons of punchy cherry tomatoes. — 5 years ago
