Surprisingly youthful & vigorous for this age.
Dried cherries on the nose with some tobacco, turned earth, tomato leaf, a bit of leather & a touch of black tea. Enticing, complex, fresh.
On the palate this showed some energy! The tannins polished, smooth but still with quite a grip, the acidity shining, the fruit slowly fading but still there. Brilliant length and character. — 7 days ago

Nose was a little strange. Slightly muted with notes of dark fruits and earth but the palette was phenomenal and smooth. Sweet at first with a dry finish — 4 days ago

Really tasty. Full bodied with medium acidity and medium/high tannins. Plums with hints of blueberry are joined by interesting herbal notes of thyme and sage. Also has a nice earthiness that veers into a touch of just-ground coffee beans accompanying the fruit and herbal flavors on the finish. Really good, and went well with meatball, ricotta, and mushroom pizza. — 22 days ago

@Dave I really enjoyed it. Looking to explore more CC. Didn’t have good experiences in the past with Chianti, but I didn’t know that classico was the subregion to get.

Of the other subregions, there are some really good producers of Chianti Rufina.

Light tannins, very fruity, showing cherry and plum with a bitter finish. Not all that complicated; a nice weekday dinner wine. — a month ago

Tame is the right word. This Barolo is moving out of its wild youth, but can still age some. Soft fruit and new leather, a little sage. Tannins are mellow, decanted for 2 hours. Paired with pork medallions in a basil cream sauce. Good pairing.

I usually go 10 years minimum but I was in the mood for Barolo and this one was a bargain. Let it breathe for awhile and you can see a bit into the future 😀 @Tegan Marriott

Totally agree with you on the timing with barolos. I think I'll open a langhe nebbiolo or one from alto piedmont before baby killing! Cheers to you!
