Nice vibrant Chianti here, with ripe cherry inflected fruit and a wash of minerality and earthiness across the middle. Tart, snappy and quite long. Classic idiom. Drinking well now but will hold a few more.

With a few years in the cellar, this has turned in to compelling wine. Starting to amber a bit. Very full with ripe fruit, underpinned by wood and spice notes. Balanced and carries the high alcohol well. Certainly justifies the “entry premium” price.

This needed some time to open up, but quite impressive when it did. First notes where something like a field of wildflowers with lots of rich berry fruit. With time, very nice pepper and herb notes emerged, and it began to track much more like a syrah.
