Description

Purchased from Wine Society for a sweet wine tasting as part of WSET course. Drunk 1 have 2 left; keeping 1 selling 1. I cant find any notes on JR or ERP. However, this very enthusiastic note on CT:

9/13/2016 - ANDREWSTEVENSON.COM WROTE: 92 Points
A Journey through Chianti Classico with Castello di Albola (La Locanda, Gisburn): An intense raisiny nose with some apricot. There's a touch of oxidative nuttiness. Very concentrated palate. Very, very intense. Almost painfully intense. Pretty decent acidity. It has a nice, oily, nutty feel. An extremely accomplished vin santo - one of the best I can remember having.

A very accurate note, sweetness balanced with rancio note from oxidative ageing. Not unlike a sweet oloroso sherry, but with more acidity and less alcohol.
