Again , going through my Cellar an found this old wine , Garnet , Maturing in colour on Rim , at May 2016. Surprise , still showing Ripe Sweet fruit an nice oak with some spice , clove , nutmeg . Good Palate still has some sweet fruit , an maturing with good tannin in place .. Typical of Chianti ( Sangiovese blend ) lacks mid palate sweetness but always good tannin , so good food wine . A surprise indeed for its age also 10 yrs old. Well made , from good year for certain .Will hold here too for a few more years yet

evidentemente un buon chianti come questo dev'essere bevuto con almeno sei-sette anni di invecchiamento, checché se ne dica: questo 2007, a ottobre 2014 ci ha dato una soddisfazione che due-tre anni fa non aveva nemmeno sfiorato. Bisogna saper aspettare...

This wine was a joy to drink, with notes from wood,wet forest, not very complex, but very pleasant.
