There’s somebody in England who claims to have both the 2014 Punggl & the 2014 Sirmian in 1.5L magnums:
2014 Punggl

2014 Sirmian

Then the Pergole Torte is great!
Thx Nathan for all the informative links. Very easy to look up your suggestions.
Thx. Will get some of these.
I’d be leery of the 2014 San Giusto a Rentennano [Chianti Classico] if one was considering it. The label states 13.5% abv, but it feels like an underripe and lean – even thin – example of the DOCG region. If one liked Chianti from another era, perhaps they might try this cool year. I found some lavender, sour cherry and iron here, but there is a gritty tannic texture, and a sharp level of acid. For my palate it needs to food to be tolerable. I see that Tim liked it on CT but it’s a B- on my scorecard, and gets unbalanced after a day open.
A plate of chicken Marsala and egg noodles was pretty good though! (I have to keep the sauce separate, since one of the family is skeptical of mushrooms, sauces etc.)
G. Rinaldi Barolo Brunate and Soldera are the two best Italian 2014’s I’ve had - and both were utterly amazing
