The nose shows classic BdM aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, steeped black tea, tobacco, and a whisper of balsamic. Yet on the palate its tart acidity overwhelmed, and the nimble structure is more inline with CC than a BdM.
Not bad, but I certainly expected much more.

Great bottle from start to finish. Classic Chianti! Would do again. — 6 days ago

Catch up from a wine dinner last month. Another rare treat on an evening of many new experiences. So muscular. Still very young, waiting to uncoil, but delicious nevertheless. — a month ago

Torraiolo Riserva 2018 Chianti Classico. Received as gift 1/26. Full and rich with good tannins. — 6 months ago
Wow what a surprising and interesting wine. Done in amarone styling this wine must be very intense on release. At 24 years old it was still punchy but very drinkable. Layers of flavors and aromatics was actually great with the rack of lamb — 9 months ago
Beautiful bottle of 1993 Conti! Still carrying fruit and is peppy!! Aged in great conditions so she is elegant, aged red fruits, earthy with light raisins. This wine has solid tannins and acidity but I would drink now. She’s likely a bit past her prime but still a great wine!! Enjoy!! — 5 days ago
I bought this about 15 years ago from Vienna Vintner and glad I did because it stood the test of time after the past 13 years in a basement. Glad I didn’t wait longer but this is very enjoyable at 19! — 6 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2018 “Il Rosso delle Donne” pours a garnet color color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of fresh raspberry, strawberry, mustard seed, fennel, horse blanket, a touch of truffle, dried green herbs, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Giving Pommard vibes…in the best of ways. Drink now with some patience through 2048+. — 11 hours ago
