Lovely pepper and bay leaf nose. Flavor explosion in the front of the mouth, with red fruits and medium tannins. Whispers of flowers.

Dark ruby, herbal edge, easy tannin, rich with depth, good texture, fruity tang. A great CC example. Very nice. $40

Light garnet dress. Nose: red fruits, cedar, tobacco, evolution touch. In the mouth it’s half full-bodied - melted and of great finesse, reminiscent of the refinement of Burgundy; medium acidity. Intense notes of strawberry, raspberry, smoke, eucalyptus, dried herbs, dried rose. Very nice aromatic bouquet. The whole is in balance. 2015 is perfectly ready to drink.

Robe Grenat légère. Nez fruits rouges, cèdre, tabac, touché d’évolution. En bouche le corps et demi corsé - , c’est fondu et d’une grande finesse, rappelant le raffinement de la Bourgogne; acidité moyenne. Notes intenses de fraise, framboise, fumée, eucalyptus, aromates, herbes séchées, rose séchée. Très beau bouquet aromatique. L’ensemble est à l’équilibre. 2015 est parfaitement prêt à boire.

nose and entry great. finish was not as great. a bit too much of tannins left that was tough. not terrible overall, just not a complete chianti reserva for the vintage.

Juicy, dark, dried fruit. Medium finish, wants food! My associate says ”it’s making me feel good.”
