Loved this. Bursting with Plum and sour cherries. Great nose. Felt like I could sip slowly with a special someone and go through an entire bottle.

13' Casstagnoli Terrazze Chianti Classico. Just as I remembered it. Strawberries, plums, black olives. Well integrated tannins. Very smooth. What a sensational bottle of wine for the money. Very challenging to find a bottle of wine that drinks this nicely for $40.

Quite brown and oxidative despite perfect cork. Plummy, licorice, dark chocolate, interesting secondary flavors and good amount of tannins left. High 14.5%. In a perfect spot but at the end its life. So yes drink up.

Aug 22nd, 2025This turned out to be really excellent. Bought direct from Kermit Lynch. Classic, dark ripe cherry. Touch plum and extremely good soft and plenty of tannins. Quite tart now yet it will last a decade. Decant tons of air - or drink over 2 days. Back palate coater! Easily can match Brunellos at a better price point!
