A little too fresh to compete with an aged brunello but a good wine. Would probably just have a Chianti riserva for better value. — 6 days ago

Soft soft nose of muted spicy berries. Muted berries up front with a fade to dusty sour cherries on the back. A very pleasant Chianti! — 12 days ago

Sour cherries, plum, blackberries & baked strawberries, softened cedar, dry tobacco w/ ash, leather, dry crushed rocks, dry soil, dark spice box, anise, tarriness, more dark chocolate but some milk chocolate, caramel notes, withering dark & red flowers with dry red roses, nice acidity and still showing firm structure/tension, well balanced and plush 90 second finish.

Has another 7-10 yrs ahead.

Tasty medium/full bodied Chianti Rufina. Has strong aromas of cloves upon opening , with some cherry and interesting herbal notes (primarily mint and bay leaves) emerging with some air. On the palate there are cherry, plum, anise, and cloves with some hints of leather and earthy mushrooms. Has nice freshness and smooth mouthfeel until the tannins emerge towards the finish with some grip and bitterness. Finish has good length with lingering earthy spice and fruit. On day 2, the flavors coalesced nicely with the cloves, anise, and fruit permeating the palate. Also, the tannins calmed down, resulting in a more balanced wine with a supple, fuller mouthfeel. This probably would have benefited from a one or two hour decant on day 1. — 8 hours ago

QPR out the wazoo - really delicious as a wine, but does not speak to Chianti. Mass produced for the crowds, smooth well- balanced and dare I say somewhat elegant: definitely fruit forward with oozing dark brooding berried fruit & cherry galore, vanilla & gentle subtle spice.

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, balsamic, and wood smoke; on the palate, it's dry, with high acidity, high tannins, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of red currant, cherries, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. — 2 months ago

375ml. Nose has crunchy black cherry fruit, and the characteristic earthiness of the region has taken on a slightly animal, feral quality in this iteration. Savory and relatively full in the mouth. A little drying and bitter at the end of the finish. — 2 months ago
