Enjoyed a single glass after a lovely dinner. The 2001 appears a deep amber color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of apricot marmalade, candied nuts, burnt molasses, espresso, and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and bitter but ever so lovely. Could a wine like this live forever? One of those questions that keeps me up at night. — 7 days ago

2016 vintage. No mention of Bodegas Manzanos except on the cork. A little sweet but not overly so. Tremendous value. Still super youthful but fairly compliant currently. Drink now-2038. — 3 years ago

Light-to-medium body; near-perfect acidity that goes beautifully with stuffed portobello mushrooms (spinach & ricotta stuffing). Nice, firm tannins and ripe cherries with anise, with the oak coming through at the end. A little earthy in a pleasant way pairs nicely with mushrooms. Would be GORGEOUS with mushroom risotto and asparagus. I imagine it would be beautiful with red meat, too. #pairwithfood — a day ago

Blend of 50% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, deep Ruby red with fresh red berry aromas and some herb spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, cacao and licorice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, good balance with acidity, ending with tobacco and oak on the finish. — a year ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours, a pale garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of raspberry, tart cherry, strawberry, star anise, red flowers, pine nuts, dry earth, old wood, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This is a lovely Chianti Classico that may not be fancy, but it is certainly honest. Enjoy now through 2034.  — a month ago
