Sweet red cherries, black tea leaves, dried shrooms, sandalwood. Fantastic extract with grippy tannins. Would have guessed Brunello based on the structure.

Pretty nose. Red cherries, red apple, rosemary. Great tannic structure, not overly astringent or tart. Excellent chianti Classico

From the oldest winery in Tuscany, Barone Ricasoli, this offers lovely black fruits but also some tabacco and licorice. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. Perfect now, but could age still.

Remarkable (especially considering the vintage) dense rich fresh fruit flavor that lingers on the palate. cherries blueberries with subtle spices.

Nez très complexe de cassis et de boisé. La bouche est onctueuse et longue. Parfait avec une viande rouge.

Plum, vanilla, high acidity and medium silky tannin. Alcohol slightly on the high side. Great chianti classical!
