Drank half last night. Like it much more tonight.
Dry , cherry, touch of tar .
Nice bottle

I found this to be a solid Chianti… a classic Classico.
Tart or maybe sour apple / cherry. Firm tannins. A touch of salt.
At worst, a touch unremarkable. But overall, enjoyable. Interesting lower scores from the gallery.
Makes me question myself…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — a month ago
Nice

Crabapple acid lingers with charcoal tannins. Big ones. Big wine. Huge.
The Italian version of a Napa Cab.
Italian old world vibes + nostalgic buzz of big wines I used to love. Kind of fun for a change of pace.

Pleasant. Subtle cranberry fruit. Subtle tartness. Touch of sweet.
More enjoyable after it opened up.

The sort of rank and file Pinot that tastes too much like Pinot for me …. — a month ago
Reminds me of so many of the solid affordable wines we’d find in Italy. Medium body. Firm tannins. Tart fruit first. Then tobacco.
I’ll do this again. — 2 months ago

Nice tannins and some strong ruby fruit.
Not digging the super oak… sweetness… and strong clove / allspice direction. I’m sure others do, but not for me.
Wish I cellared this… maybe then… — 14 days ago
