Well structured Sangiovese, fruit forward with initial strong tannins. After 35 minutes decanted, both on the nose and palate, there is a beautiful blueberry, spice & floral experience. The tannins are soft and the wine fills the mouth with delight!
It may evolve a bit more but is ready now.

Deep garnet, full bodied offering with currant & plummy fruit on the nose. Decanted for 40 minutes revealing riper fruit forward with currants and dissipating tannins on the palate. This is a well structured wine that is still young and full but will be even better in 3-5 years. Loved it! — 8 months ago

Drinking beautifully… dark cherry, light spice, fruit forward with tannins dissipating after 15 minutes in the decanter. This remains a marvelous Chianti in the traditional style as Laura Bianchi continues the legacy of this great family of vintners. — a year ago

On the nose, the 2001 seemed promising after being decanted for 45 minutes- floral, dark cherry, cedar, light old leather, a touch of glycerin- but disappointing on the palate. I found it linear and tannic. It never really opened fully with layered complexity. It is fully mature but was not my favorite. — 3 months ago

Full bodied, dense, deep ruby Bordeaux. On the nose: dark mulberry fruit,cedar, & a touch of eucalyptus/camphor. On the palate: dark fruit, cedar and light tannins. After 40 minutes decanted the tannins recede and the soft fruit is delicious. This wine is fully mature and a terrific offering from Medoc. If you have it or can get it, drink now and enjoy! — 8 months ago

This is a perfect expression of Sangiovese.
The nose is of ripe fruit, black currents, light spice and a touch of juniper.
Soft on the palate, fruit forward after 20 minutes decanted.
Enjoyed with farfalle pasta with long simmering red meat sauce with capers & black olives. The 2016 vintage is mature and ready to drink! — 5 months ago
