Clear, Medium plus garnet with purple highlights. Clean, well-defined plum, black cherry, leather and a bit of tar framed with medium plus acidity and medium tannins. Lovely floral touches, a pretry wine that is still compact. It will be charming if and when it opens up.

A little overwrought for Chianti. Too bad, I was fired up to have this old vine field blend with pork and risotto! The 14.5 alcohol showed more than any galestro intrigue or bright Sangiovese fruit. We didn't finish it, which is rare around here.

New world inspired with ripe red cherry, strawberry, and blueberry fruits. Medium to full-bodied with sweet vanillin oak notes and subtle savoury hints.

Good value on the 03/07/15 LCBO release. Classic red fruit and stewed plum aromas with a hint of spice and tobacco. Velvety smooth with a medium finish and decent herbal and spice complexity for the $. Also bought the magnum and could go for another solid 5 years

Big bold Sangiovese needed more time in the btl. But very enjoyable now

Tannin slides away to reveal a nice honey and spice
