Nothing wrong with the classics. Dark garnet, juicy, broad, morello cherry, dank earth, porcini, open for business but could go longer

Great delight as often with the Riserva Rancia from this estate - needs a bit time to open up, nice and acidity, good balance and intensity, evolving nicely with cherries, earthy notes, tobacco and leather touch - great wine

This has evolved very nicely and, with 1-2 hrs of air, is showing very well at age 12. There’s terrific balance between the lip-smacking red fruit, smooth tannins, and supporting acidity. Clean, with a succulent, herb-tinged finish. To my palate, this is better than the ‘97, ‘99, and ‘04 were at the same age.

Dark Ruby. Very dense for a Chianti. Dark and red fruit, backed by tobacco and wild mushroom character. Soft medium+ body, with hints of wood. Long finish. This softened up considerably over the years.

Tannic structure surprising how it was Nebbiolo like. Loaded w oak. Would never peg it as Chianti though

Love this bottle! Opened a 2006 which was around 94-96pts RP I believe. By the book! Great fruit. Floral rose petal elegance. Soft potpourri. Nice red apples and Ranier cherry. Declining in the glass rapidly. The color lacks oxidation. It's barely showing a tinge. Wondering if I opened just right or if it could have used more time. Delicious. Opened 2/21/16

Huge. Could still use more cellar time. Big upside in another few years
