Winner of best capsule top in the business. Oh and a downright respectable traditional Chianti.

Great "retro" Chianti Classico character without the off-the-charts Brett. Nice and clean, good acid, could have used a couple more years but good value Chianti.

Very clean and acidic. Needs food.

Bright red cherry, red plum, and a subtle note of herbs like tomato leaf or dill make this a solid chianti, even if the alcohol and tannins stuck out just a bit. The effect of the Mediterranean sun was unmistakeable, but we were waffling between Chianti Classico and Spanish Tempranillo. The fruits are bright enough and the structure serious enough that I wonder what 3-5 years will do to this. With @Rajiv Ayyangar for Monday night blinds at nopa.

Roger Patterson

Lightly fruity with balanced, moderate acidity and tannins. quaffable and great with steak and pasta.

Ari Newman

Great dry dark fruit and earthy tones. Nice mouth feel for the age. Winner!
