2022 vintage

Rich black cherry throughout with touches of earth and savory spice. Good balance, maybe on the simple side, but very enjoyable.

2022 vintage

Decently well made, but a bit thin.

2022 vintage

Slo-oxed for 15 minutes but the second glass was better. Some attractive dark fruit notes on the nose along with some cedar. The medium bodied palate showed lots of blackberry, black currant, dark cherry and spice, along with some earth and a touch of herb. The acidity was fresh and balancing. Should continue to hold for several years.

PnD. Fresh with nice depth and ripeness. Well balanced with a long finish. Getting more.

2022 vintage

Villa Antinori has a wide range of wines from very good to world class. I don't think I have ever one that disappoints. This wine is very good for a $30 bottle. Dark fruit to start and very balanced.

other than being too young yet I like this chunkey monkey, once the wood leaves, going to be very nice. buy

2022 vintage

This was excellent. Last bottle was not as good. Needs some serious time to mature.

2015 vintage

Yes, it is over the hill for what it is, but I enjoy Old Chianti‘s and this one was not an exception. It does have a hint of stewed tomatoes, which is consistent with a very aged Chianti. I like stewed tomatoes, and I don’t mind it in a certain type of wine. I paired this with a tomato based pizza and it was an enjoyable combination. Laura tasted it and immediately would not drink another sip. To each his/her …

1999 vintage

Appearance: Deep ruby Nose: Medium+ intensity. Predominantly black fruits of black cherry, black plum, and blackcurrant, with red fruits such as red plum and red cherry also present. Notes of cedar, clove, nutmeg, smoke, gamey meat, black pepper, leather, tobacco, and earthy nuances. Some dried black fruits (prune, cherry). The nose is developing. Palate: Dry, with medium+ acidity, medium+ tannins, high alcohol, and medium+ body. Flavor intensity is medium+, mirroring the nose with black cherry, black plum, blackcurrant, and supporting …

2022 vintage

PnP Consistent with previous notes. Great tertiary notes emerging.

2015 vintage

Plump berry and cocoa nose. Ripe, full, and flavourful palate with good weight and length. 3.5/5

2022 vintage

Red berries High acidity , high tannins , med alcohol , med finish

2022 vintage

Standard bearer of top 97 Chianti. Bought at winery. Aroma of clean oak cellar, great legs, normal sediment. All the 97 flavors. Regular sediment ( 12” decanter). Still typical fruit. Really sorry I did not keep this another 20 years- but I’d b dead.

1997 vintage

Pale emulsion of shadowy reddish brick , very translucent at a wide, colorless miniscus at the thin Reidel crystal- quite beautiful. The 12" decanter had a wide sheet of the emulsion from the neck, down into wonderful 1" red tinged clear legs. A few chunks made it into the decanter, but a half inch was visible in the bottle bottom. The nose dusty, old and tertiary with quitesavory aromas of sun-baked earth, some dried black cherries, a little bit of …

1955 vintage

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and cranberry. It tastes like blackberry, cranberry and cinnamon. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

2022 vintage

Dried black tea on the nose, along with ripe plum. Palate is really interesting to me - more black tea plus an acidic soy along with restrained orchard fruit, perhaps just-ripe italian plum. There is a bit of tingle on the tongue and finish but the tannin is generally very friendly. I have not had this wine before, but it seems to me as if it is likely at a peak, and not going to show any improvement later. Glad …

2015 vintage

Really enjoyed

2015 vintage

Hard to imagine that a $30 wine would be among my favourites but here we are. Medium plus intensity clove and tea on the nose and palate while some strawberry is added to the latter. No discernible tertiaries so some more aging is a possibility. Dry, high acidity and alcohol with medium body and tannin. The finish is lower intensity but hangs in for a reasonably long period.

2015 vintage

Great bottle at its peak.

2015 vintage

Quick random notes (mostly to my future self): Tannins remove this from the typical satisfying pasta accompaniment. Tannins and copious dregs make this feel like a wine you should savor and may improve with time. But … But, personally, I think it is just OK, and guessing it is unlikely to improve with age. But a reasonable deal for $18. Note, I agree “OK” is a cop out for describing any detail tasting notes. But sometimes, with a standard such …

2015 vintage

Er et super godt sted lige nu. Lækker, harmonisk duft med god blanding af frisk sangiovesisk kirsebær, fadkrydderi samt den umiskendelige cigaræske fra Bordeaux-druerne. Efter lidt tid i glasset træder tanninen tydeligt frem. Men smagsintensitet og den ranke syre holder godt sammen på det. Den forrige flaske (halvandet år siden) må have været dårlig. Opdatering: på andendagen mere dybde. Mørk skovbund, svampe, chokolade.

2015 vintage

Made from Sangiovese based blend with a drop of Merlot, aged in FR large casks and in barrels for 18 months. Medium+ ruby colour. Intense aroma of blackberries, violets, cherries, earth, hint of leather. Medium body, vibrant, nervous and tightly knit, lean structure, fresh underripe cherry flavours signed by pronounced steely high acidity and fleshy medium+ fine tannins, concluded with short finish. Somewhat dispersed structure with overly vibrant and acidic fruity flavours which I am not sure will integrate.

2015 vintage

Cool tobacco, cherry, blue flower and minty nose. Great acidity which is very well-integrated. Powerful but accurate and delightful palate. Finely chiseled tannins on a vertical structure. Long finish.

2015 vintage

Color: Brick Nose: brandied cherry, violets Palate: earth, stewed plum, golden raisin

1997 vintage

Very Good++ A joy to drink and this last bottle was probably the best of the handful I'd purchased. Similar to my Oct. 2021 TN and absolutely not at all overripe. On the deeper end of the spectrum, but solid Chianti Classico and, of course, a solid choice for the table (this time a simple eggplant and mushroom red sauce pasta). 13.5% abv Empty bottle weight: 456g

2013 vintage

Perfect cork and fill. Significant bricking in the glass, though nowhere near all brown. Nose is a nice blast of aged sour cherry, tobacco, and earth- it smelled great. But the fruits were faded in the mouth, lots of earth and cigar wrapper flavors, which I don't mind, but an unpleasant rancid soy sauce on the finish that I was not a fan of at all. This bottle was drinkable, nice with some pasta, but was at it's best 10+ …

1997 vintage

Powerfully tannic - needs a two-hour decant, which it didn’t get…

2015 vintage

Litt snerpete til å begynne med, trengte litt lufting. Passer godt til hjemmelaget lasagne.

2015 vintage

Similar notes to before but with greater emphasis of funk and earth on the nose. Definite secondary aromas that blow off after an hour or so. Tannins are fully resolved. Drink soon.

2013 vintage

Prunes, boisé, notes balsamiques, assez corpulent, structuré. Meilleur en accompagnement d'un repas.

2015 vintage

Under cork. Deep plummy red in colour. Luscious nose of plum, sweet cherry, dusty earth, black cedar, iodine, ink and graphite on the nose. Bloody luvly! Medium-full bodied, sweet and tangy fruit extract, very smooth tannins, good acidity and a rather plush and round mouthfeel. Fully integrated and very well balanced. Loads of ripe red and black fruits, sweet oak, ink, dried herbs, chalky tannins and a long off dry finish. This is in a sweet place right now and …

2015 vintage

Best chianti I've had in some time, excellent expression of sangiovese great Dark fruits, sour cherry, rich spicey and meaty depth, nicely balanced tannin and acidity. Drinking really well now, but loads of life in it yet and may improve further. Wish I had a few more bottles!

2015 vintage

So good. It developed nicely in the glass, moving from earth notes and tighter tannins to silky tannins and lovely cherry notes and tobacco.

2013 vintage

Medium ruby with high intensity notes of tea and oak. Dry, high acidity, medium tannin, medium body and high alcohol. Tea and oak again on the palate with some black fruit thrown in creating a medium finish. Could have been improved with a bit better balance which may have emerged with some additional aging along with some tertiaries. Overall very good to outstanding.

2013 vintage

God + til Saltimbocca

2015 vintage

Earthy, animalistic, tabacco on the nose. Supprisingly pure cherry fruit and well balanced.

1997 vintage

Hat noch einige Zeit vor sich. Vielschichtig mit Kirsche , Brombeerten, Vanille und einer feinen , samtigen Tanninen.

2015 vintage

PnD let air for 2hrs. Consistent with previous notes. Holding up with lots of life ahead. Great fruit with depth balance complexity and finish. Can easily go another 10 years.

2015 vintage

Needed to breath but then was balanced with a bit of an acidic alcohol finish.

2015 vintage

plum purple color, decent legs, nice blend of Tuscany and Bordeauz style

2015 vintage

Dark garnet. Nice aromatics - wet earth, tobacco, dark cherry. Velvety smooth tannins, plush plum and black cherry, with cocoa, roasty herb. Leathery grip on the finish. Medium acidity. This is drinking well right now and I don't see it improving further, though should last for a few years. No reason to wait though. Excellent with fresh tomato sauce and parmigiano. Modern style, but retains Tuscan character.

2015 vintage

From a half bottle. Still a bit of tannin action going on. Needs maybe 20 minutes in the glass to soften it. Attractive, fruity nose. Very bright acidity - strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry. Maybe a little too much if you're just drinking and not eating. Appropriate wine for spaghetti and meatballs and pizza. Not a lot of complexity, but enjoyable with a meal. While it might have a bit of upside potential, I would rather drink it now.

2015 vintage

Awesome

2013 vintage

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like walnut, light toast, blackberry, raspberry, orange, fig and toast. It tastes like orange, strawberry jam, cherry, mineral, nutmeg and almond. The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

2015 vintage

very nice now for price drink it

2015 vintage

Drunk next to a 2012 altesino Brunello This wine is earth driven supported by nice fruit and grippy medium + tannins. Should age nicely Great food beverage

2015 vintage

Wow, this was a pleasant surprise, really coming together where the ripeness isn't overwhealming, notes of cherry... see my April note. Similar. Very Good+
