Fresh cherry, raspberry and red fruit, very young, from an Italian winery that’s been making Chianti since the 1700s. This particualr vintage was a basic, easy drinker that will be much better in 5 years. Scarlet red colour, light, dusty nose. Decanted for an hour before drinking.

The oak and cherries really come together nicely on this one. Not very complex, but man it's good.

Bright ruby color. Aromas and flavors of blue and red berry fruit with a hint of violets. Same fruits on the palate though they are more cooked and jammy. Touch of baking spice on the finish. Medium bodied and a bit sharp. Thank You for sharing this bottle, Chris B!

Decent plonk. A bit on the sweet side but went well with a lasagne!

Coop. Solid drinking Chianti red. Juicy with lunch albeit not as bold as some Chiantis.
