Long past it’s drinking window but not spoiled. It has thinned but no oxidation and minimal bricking. Smoky nose. More smoke and tobacco and finishing acidity on palate. Fruit is gone. At this point it is more interesting than good. But that is what I was expecting.

excellent color with just the tiniest hint of bricking at the rim. nose offered hints of game. medium acidity, and the fruit provided good balance to the slight flavors of olive and spice. well-balanced with medium acidity and fully resolved tannins. past its peak for certain but this well stored bottle was a lively example of a chianti that was good/very good in its prime. the wine faded after about 2.5 hours open and what little was left was becoming undrinkable.

Moden nese, noe tynn frukt, lett tørkende finish. Ok vin. Drikk nå.
