This vintage did not live up to other for Dievole. This bottle is nice, but not up to my expectations. It is already fully aged. The tobacco and leather are not bright as usual.

This bottle showed well Nice foundation, nice aging and smooth with tobacco and cherry with a fine tight tannin. Finish was medium lon and very dry. This was a real Chianti Classico!! The wine will hold for several years more.

Still drinking very well, if not better than my last taste Opened in the late morning to have with dinner. Odd gelatinous pink film on cork, any thoughts?? Regardless, well balanced Sangiovese. Top tier QPR. Great with pappardelle and the remnant sauce of a rustic chicken cacciatore, yum. 89-90, improving with time, my prior longevity assessment was clearly wrong

Drank over two days. Holding up well to its time in a bottle. Great QPR, and evocative of a an aged Brunello at a 1/3 of the cost. Cheers!

Has the tobacco smell note. But just opened. Maybe it will freshen up.

nice QPR Chianti Classico from Vagliagli, opened 6hr prior to drinking with dinner. Tart on opening, but smoothed out by dinner. Drink up within the next year or so

Relatively big fruit; earthy and mineral. A bit acidic. I was hoping for more based on past vintages.

A good Classico with typical flavors yet they are more tight and angular in the mouth. Nice medium tannin on the finish

2014 vintage

A pretty good accomplishment considering the vintage - though it is a lighter and less concentrated wine than I would expect. Excellent with food.

Persistent tartness, not unpleasant as it doesn't hang. Stood up well to potato salad, m&ms and turkey sandwich. Light berries, simple grape reminiscent of Welch's.

Cherry and savour herb nose. Medium bodied, fresh and vibrant palate; long, juicy finish. 3.5/5

2014 vintage

Fine taste of light cherry. Little strong on tanins but drinkable now. After breathing it got way more subtle.

2014 vintage

Classic cherry flavors

2014 vintage

light red body, aroma of sharp cherry tannin, sharp bite integrated powder body, nicely done

2014 vintage

Salty and mineral and flowery and I like the lightness.

Spicy chianti fruit, in a good way, with a purity and a youthful savoriness. And what happened in Gaetano's mouth was not a fruity international style, it was original to Chianti and classic.

This is Sangiovese. This is Toscany. Nice herbal and fruity (red). Enjoy with pasta with tomato.

Mín leið í gegnum Haugen smakkið (Gamla Bíó) : Þvílíkt stökk upp frá óspennandi IGT víninu og yfir í Chianti Classico. Mjög frambærilegur Chianti. Á 3,5k líklega bara á meðalverði. Náttúrlega mjög ungt vín og á vafalaust eftir að batna í flösku.

Very fresh and bright on the nose. I can understand the wine makers preference of This vintage. Lots of red flowers and savory notes but not lacking fruit. More bright fruit direct and elegant I am being told. If you like a bit more structure than 13 maybe your wine. The red fruit is more primary. And on the palate It is Very vibrant and clean. Very youthful. Linear mineral direct. Tight. Fresh.
