Seemed very advanced for its young years but then came on in the glass with stewed cherry brightness. Delicious.

Very smooth, no biting tannins. Nicely integrated hard to identify, but dried cherries and faint whiffs of licorice and plum tomato.

Easy to drink Chianti. Classic cherries, oregano, cloves (?).
Acidity not as sharp as other Chiantis. Tastes light and "modern".

A beautiful wine. Cherry, dusty earth, menthol, herbs, violets, a tad tobacco. Better than many barolo and brunello I've had at twice the price. Young too. I can imagine how this would will taste with a more years.

So awesome! Perfect expression of Ruffino terroir with berry and earth melding to smooth Morello cherry and spice on the palate. Excellent wine. 2015 vintage on Jan 17, 2020
