Weekend wine price for weekday taste. Lots of tannins, deep dark fruits.

Superb Classico, in fact classic Chianti in every sense. Timeless like the castle.

Vanilla, black tea, blackberries, anise and crushed flowers. Still has a load of structure. Could go a lot longer in the bottle.

A benchmark CC, and a phenomenon described by @Jim Westby, transcending Brunellos when done well. No surprise, it's all Sangiovese (yes, yes, grosso a different clone). Last bottle in a great case that could've held for 10+ years. Licorice, leather and sour cherry in a big, round package.

Feb 7th, 2016Had called this the Dorian Gray of wine, kept getting more tannic and backwards with age...then boom, last night, a beautifully knit and rendered CC. Great aromatics, pipe tobacco, dark cherries. Tastes like a super T, sour cherry core wrapped in cedar, graphite. Loamy earth tones. Baking chocolate. Still has years to go.
