Is La Chiave a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Nose of vanilla (loads), golden syrup, strawberry and cream lollies, maple. Loads of structure still to taste. 13% alc, but seems a tad higher. A great Aussie Sangiovese. Hard to top in this country. For a 9yr old wine (ok, 10, in denial), it’s smashing it. Very different to the Chianti’s and Brunellos, of Italy. This is pure class and not surprising from Castagna. Beechworth wines are a massive hit.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The nose is of blackberries, raspberry, sour black cherries with notes of chocolate and just a hint of truffle. In the mouth there are lovely cedary tannins with beautiful fruit which speaks of bright raspberries slightly caramelised apple and chocolate. It has a lovely mid-palate and a long savoury finish which seems to go on forever.
