Wow. Label is totally gone so not sure what vintage this was... think 2009.
Aged beautifully for what it is. Just a big musty bouquet of gamey blackberry jam and old leather armchair and dusty books and earth and mushroom and roast lamb. A nice earthy ruby in the glass. On the palate, allspice and white pepper and delicate tannins and some subtle acidity. A little more acidity and concentration and it would have been magnificent; but still a very nice surprise.
Ah, the joys of a decent Chianti Classico ($20 originally I think) aged for 10 years.

Monsanto's 2009 Chianti sports notes of earth, forest branches and red berries, and anise. On the palate, bright, mouthwatering acidity and grippy tannins, followed by preserved meat, rose hips and Kuchika Twig tea. I would hold this one for at least another five years or so.
