Made detailed notes and then lost them....must be an over 70’s thing. This wine was #6 in the 2014 Wine Spectator Top 100. Not your typical Chianti Classico with a small 7% of Merlot and 10% Malvasia Nera with small oak maturation. The first of 5. Some cherry/ red fruited notes. Savoury dry tannins. I prefer the more traditional style of CC.

Jan 12th, 2023This was Wine Spectators #6 wine for 2014. Don't agree with such a high rating. A very good Chianti Classico nonetheless with cherry and earthy notes. Light to medium bodied with bitter tannins still making their presence felt.
