floral perfume, pastilles, garrigue, pine

juicy succulent dark cherry and berries seamlessly transition into espresso and tobacco tannins

“drinks” easier than the 2009

Traditional Chianti Classico recommended by my son Derek. 90% Sangiovese 7% Canalolo 3% Colorino. Very good from 2010 vintage grown in Mansanto.

Old school. Violets, tar and dried plum. Rather weighty, but more than enough lift and cut. A really good drink.

Some reduction but drinking well. The fruit is riper than in other bottles of this I've tried.

For a young CCR, this is doing really well. Red fruit comes forward with a backbone of dried leather, flowers and earth. All around food pairing wine indeed.

Drinking beautifully right now. Balanced and very (red sauce) food-friendly.
