A beautiful Chianti from a beautiful year. 95 points Anthony D'Anna #56 on the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2007! : "Very aromatic, offering bright blackberry and light vanilla aromas. Full-bodied with vibrant fruit, fine tannins and a clean, crisp, fruity finish. Best after 2008." #56 on the Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2007! 91 points Wine Spectator A luminous, deep purple. The nose shows elegance and grace, over power, with initial balsamic aromas evolving into a fruity medley highlighting bottled cherries, followed closely by notes of spice and leather. A pronounced acidity makes for a wine of appealing leanness, bolstered by dense but judicious tannins. The finish is clean and dry.
