This casts a sense of relaxation & ease in the glass. The structure reveals a sturdy frame, but the Merlot addition adds a silky, inviting character here. The spicy nuances that I look for in Chianti are evident & the red fruited aromatics carry through the palate & show purity and depth/nuance in lovely balance.

It's basically the best chianti I've ever had. Rich and deep. I almost feel like they cheated by adding the merlot, but I'm not mad about it. So good. I've had brunellos that don't even come close to this.

Red fruit, vanilla, toasted oak chips, good acidity, smooth finish, soft lingering tannins.

Очень чистый и богатый аромат, цветочный, пряный, с аккуратным дубом, вкус полный, отличная кислотность и оформленные плотные танины. 17/20 (92/100)
