Took a couple of nights for the fruit to lift off. It was lovely once it did.

Great Chianti Classico. Good cherry flavors, orange peel, nice acid, and good tannin. Solid stuff.

Classic Chianti Classico. Bright ruby red. Candied cherry and leather on the nose. Tart cherry and leather on the palate. Medium plus acidity. Great with food. No surprises here; just a good, solid CC.

Wild and gamey with dark fruit and hay, not your typical Chianti Classico

Almond, cherry, dried rose petals, leather... This is nice. There is a barnyard funk think too, which goes away after a while. The palate is very well done with a good acid drive, some nice cherry notes all along, a vivid mouthfeel, some drying tannins in the rear, some savoury touches blossom in the finish along with bright cherry notes and that dried layer. It's a very good effort, one of the best classico I have tasted recently, quite easy going.
