Riserva Novecento Chianti Classico Sangiovese

Complex, powerful, masculine. Drinking a bit backwards, dominated by savory character- but with enormous potential. Black cherries, plum, leather, coffee, tobacco and dried herbs. Dusty mouthfeel and extremely long, persistent finish. Tannins are a bit coarse and oak could use some time to further integrate. I’ve had two bottles of the 2013 and each one threw some rather large sediment towards the end. The power and structure of this wine is impressive and bodes well for the future. Monolithic right now. The fruit should be singing in another 3-5 years.

Great value.

Savory with a persisting finish

Deep dark color, a nose and flavor of fresh crushed dark cherries, wonderfully balanced tannins with a hint of tartness. Long life ahead.

Dried cherries , anise, cracked pepper, anise. Nice balance could age for many more.

Quite nice. Lighter but nice fruit. Upon additional drinking this is a great value. Bought 4 more bottles

Still tannic but ample cherry fruit to make the wine enjoyable now and for many years
