Pietro Majnoni considers that the ninety-seven vintage in Tuscany was the best of the decade. This wine bears out his assertion. The bouquet is jam-packed with bags of fruit [raspberries and cherries] and a great balance of acidity. This acidity comes through on the palate but is superbly balanced with loads of rich, ripe fruit and good tannins. This needs time in the bottle to really show its paces but will repay hanging onto it for a year or two. Delicious ‘old fashioned’ Chianti.
Richard Bampfield MW:
Vivid, youthful colour. Cedary, savoury aromas, a touch of oak apparent, finely judged. Lovely rich, supple fruit flavours, oak adding to flavour and structure but kept in the background. Very complete wine with a long spicy, savoury finish.
