Made detailed notes and then lost them....must be an over 70’s thing. This wine was #6 in the 2014 Wine Spectator Top 100. Not your typical Chianti Classico with a small 7% of Merlot and 10% Malvasia Nera with small oak maturation. The first of 5. Some cherry/ red fruited notes. Savoury dry tannins. I prefer the more traditional style of CC. — 3 years ago

Catalan wine tasting #6
Jammy, rich, sweet & spicy.
This is full-on with black fruit galore, nicely integrated wood,
On the palate this is rich, liqueur-ishc yet there’s bright acidity cutting through, brining freshness & drinkability.
Very light on the tannins, big on the fruity wham.
Surprisingly evolved for 5y. — 2 years ago

#6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2014. See previous note. The aromatics of vanilla oak in its youth have mitigated and the whole wine is much more balanced. A deep rich red. Aromas of red and black cherry and a little dried orange peel. Medium bodied palate - very Chianti Classico from a good vintage. It will continue to improve through this decade to 2030. It needed 13 years for everything to come together. Luckily I have a few left. — 2 years ago

This is the co-ferment #6. 50% apples with Cabernet Franc and Merlot skins. Forest berries with a good dose of earth and kiss of brett. Honestly drinks like Lambrusco Grasparossa. Super small batch. Organic. — 9 days ago
