Occasional Wine Note: #24 on Wine Spectator's 2023 Top 100! This is a fantastic example of how good Chianti Classico can be. Cherries, cocoa, baking spices, great tannin, and a luxurious mouthfeel. This one's a gem!

Critic Score: 94
A supple, fluid red marked by flavors of macerated cherry, raspberry and boysenberry. Well-structured, with flashes of graphite and tobacco as this builds to the long, compact finish. All the components are there, this just needs time. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2042.

Aromas of cherry chocolate, dried orange peel, rose petals and nutmeg on the nose, following through to a medium body with crunchy tannins and polished texture. Hints of fresh cherries and dried flowers with crushed stone character at the end.
