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. — 11 days ago

Medium ruby with a narrow garnet rim . Touch more dense , slightly high toned nose , deeper and darker, riper fruits , touch smoky , dark cherry , liquorice. On the palate this is quite dense and tannic , with balanced acidity . Darker , deeper fruits, with blackberry , red plum and dark cherry , liquorice hints . Good length with menthol hint . Needs time still another 3-4 years and will last well a further 5-10 years . A denser , meaty and darker style , — 16 days ago

Lighter more garnet core , quite wide garnet , terracotta rim . Quite light and ethereal on the nose , with cedar , rose , bright red cherry , more delicate and aromatic in profile . On the palate this has fresh acidity and polished tannins, lighter than the Caparsino , a much more delicate and light touch, really elegant . Sweet raspberry and red cherry , touch of anis and spice . Decent length and balance. This is a more delicate and refined experience , pure red fruits and polished tannin . Drinking quite well now though will improve over the next 5 years or so and continue to show well a further 5-10. — 16 days ago

Slightly deeper ruby , medium garnet rim . Quite closed and meaty at first , herbal touches , cedar , some cherry fruit underneath , but quite serious . On the palate this has more density and a little more polished tannin quality . Spiced cherry , sage and cedar . Slightly deeper fruits . Longer on the palate , with quite firm tannins and bright acidity . Needs a little time , and food . Probably better in 5 years and will hold well a further 5-10 — 16 days ago

Great value winter wine. Holds it's own against big comfort food flavours. — 10 years ago
