Tonight it showed excellent, just so good (actually this bottle was way better in shape than the 2016 I had a few months ago).
Typical and racy.
Paired with a traditional Cotoletta alla milanese out of a grass fed veal rib. — 4 years ago
Light bodied. Nose of raspberries, a bit floral. Dry, acidic, tannic, chalky and mineral. My favourite light bodied wine by far, Etna Rosso! — 5 years ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a very pretty garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, cranberries, pomegranate, rose pastilles, alpine herbs, cedar chest, and crushed rock. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose thought the palate seems to be a little more reserved. The finish is medium. This is an authentic and elegant expression of Carema; a place already known for elegance. Drink now through 2034. Thanks to @Lyle Fass for the assist! — 6 months ago
Probably the best Chianti we’ve had. — 4 years ago
A nice golden color with a tart aroma of apple-lemon and minerality. Flavors of minerals, chalk, smoke, and flint. It also has a slight salty taste. Quite nice. — 5 years ago
This is a nice drinking wine. It’s citrusy, creamy, and has a slight salinity. It also has a bit of tartness. — 3 years ago
Rich Italian dark cherries permeate this luscious bouquet with a slight hint of Valencia oranges. Sour cherries, spices and a slight orange sweetness that rounds off a smooth and balanced finish! 16 years old and who would thought it would be so spectacular? That’s right- those Italians did!! — 3 years ago
Hyvä! ! Hapokas, voimakkaat tanniinit ja aromikkaan keskitäyteläinen. Chiantimainen tuoksu, pitkä jälkivaikutelma. — 5 years ago
Clásico Chianti. Ligero de canillas largas. Deslumbrante color Rubí con intensos tonos y aromas de la Toscana. Ligero bello y alegre. — 5 years ago

Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 4 months ago
