Корица, кардамон, мускатный орех, гвоздика, печеные вишни. Мощный насыщенный вкус, плотный, фруктовый. Очень яркое и сильное вино. 17/20 (94/100)

Nose is bright cherry fruit. Spice

Palate the same. So fresh. 10/10 freshness.

Needs another 2-3 years. It’s a bit tight now.

As it opens sweet cherry wood.

This is not an old style Chianti but very good. I drank it with pizza. Nice berry flavors and acidity to cleanse the palate. Easily stood up to garlic only making the garlic sweeter and allowing nice finishing notes. It’s 9 years old...probably will only get better over the next 5 years before it oxidizes away. Don’t let that happen.

В аромате сливочные ириски, молочный шоколад, ягодный джем. Полнотелое, сладкое во вкусе. Липко, низкая кислотность. 15/20
