Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Deep Ruby color with aromas of red/black fruits, floral and smoky oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum flavors with garden herb notes, cacao, tobacco and toasty notes from 18 months of oak aging. Fine dusty tannins, long finish ending with fruit, vanilla and an earthy smoky spice character. Nice! Will age! — 10 days ago

Loved it! Unlike that last Chianti I tried which took an hour to open up (starting WAY too fruity and milding off), this was delicious right away. Started very earthy and drinkable immediately, the earthiness became less pronounced and became slightly more fruity as it opened. Excellent wine! — 2 days ago

2016 vintage. Last tasted 5.4.24 (9.6) and 2.10.23 (9.6). Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes. Still kicking serious assets and ignoring names. Such a woofer. Arrive with respects or leave on a stretcher. Your choice. 3.27.26 — 17 days ago

Served a bit warm today but still really nice Italian white.

Had it with the Kale Salad and I am not the biggest fan of kale and it was amazing. Had two. — 4 days ago

2021 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Trademark voluptuousness/ blanket swaddling there in the early/mid going. Fell off on the finish with a bit of lingering tartness. Loved the 2016 and 2017. This is that but it ain't (all) that if you know what I mean. 3.25.26. — 19 days ago
