Тонкая кожа, теплая земля, минеральность, легкие асфальтные нюансы, элегантно, не прямолинейно. Интенсивно во вкусе, с добавлением табачных нот. Послевкусие долгое. 16.5/20 (92/100)

Drank at Hunt Camp Legacy. Thurs night with dinner. Drank with spaghetti and ragu sauce. Good chianti, but not as good as the Selvapiana.
