Well aged... couldn't imagine cellaring it any longer.

San (Happy Birthday) Lorenzo!

So elegant and classy. I paired this with homemade pizza with chorizo and red onion.
It offers complex and completely resolved dried red fruit notes, still lively but rounded tannin and excellent balance in the acidity. In a really great place where it is difficult to parse the individual parts but the whole is immensely satisfying.

Earthy and dusty on the nose, while also offering up blue fruits. The palate is fruit forward, a touch savory on the back notes. Tannins are present but soft and balanced by a nice acidity. Pop and pour though it did evolve in glass. @Severn Goodwin - half price bottle night is over!

Smooth & easy to drink. Complemented our Father's Day barbecue very well.

Nice Chianti in a traditional style. Cherry flavor and sour finish. Cherry nose. Excellent but not interesting.

Rich, fruity nose. Hints of cassis and vanilla. Mild tannins. A bit chalky perhaps.
