Well, it's an ordinary CC nose, with tart cherry fruit, roasted herbs and a faint whiff of oak. Just short of medium-bodied where unripe tannins and slightly diluted flavors leaves the finish clipped and boring.

Enjoyed in Greve in Chianti at Verrezano on the square. Not remarkable but went well with the meal.

Nice medium bodied Chianti with moderate tannins. I think this could age up to 3-5 years more. Blackberry and chocolate.

Nice with pizza. A bit sour, and it didn't really grow on me, but good body and sweetness.

Nobelvinet anno 2014. Härlig fräsch doft. Otroligt balanserat om än ganska mycket tanniner. Animalisk smak. Lagringsvin?
