Sometime prior to Nov 2021.....must have had one but don't remember it, can only find 2. No recollection, which possibly doesn't say much for the wine???

Podere La Cappella Querciolo Chianti Classico Riserva 2011, Unfiltered, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$38.95
2020
December 2020....had with lasagna, Sunday night with the kids. It was nice, smooth, pleasant flavours but didn't feel it was a 93 that I was tasting.In fact I thought the life had been sucked out of it, too mature. But what do I know. Maybe tonight with a roast chicken dinner I will come to appreciate it more.....Ok, take it all back. Slowed down to enjoy and taste what I was drinking....very good glass of wine, quite complex and layered. Hard to describe what I was feeling but that last swish in the mouth before gulping left a lingering flavours I hadn't experienced previously..lovely!

2020/21* right away!
many opinions, 2020/2/5/6 etc....one recent review (Feb/20) thought it was at peak now...2020/21?
January, 2024....with Norah and paired with spaghetti Bolognese. A lovely wine - mature, dry, medium bodied, delicate, classy - a wine of finesse. Would buy again. (93)

this sounds like a beauty....have seen drinking dates as long as 2030 and 2036.
