Vintage 1995 | Italian rooftiles colour, beautiful complex smell with cedar, vanilla. True to type sangiovese. Surprisingly power. High acidity so a good companion with our pasta veel cheek | at Babbo Pinsa Romana

Elegant and subtle notes of sundried tomato, sour cherry, and bay leaf. Tannins have really faded on this. Drink now.

A powerhouse of a Chianti. Still needs time. Getting that almost Nebbiolo like edge. So aromatic yet structured.

An old stand-by in the crowded DOCG Chianti Classico category that still stands up. Decidedly fruit-forward black cherry dominates while maintaining a perky liveliness. Leans out significantly through the mellowed leather-and-licorice-laced tannins. Not particularly complex given its price, but plenty tasty.

Tomato, Dried Herbs, roasted meat. Very expressive nose and lasting finish.

Acidity on this is crazy considering it's 40 years old. Cherry and light tobacco. Treat.
