Trader joes 5.99. Good for a cheap Chianti after breathing for several hours.

Definitely more or a table wine. Slightly astringent acidity even with decanting. I assume it will sweeten a bit on the second day. Still drinkable, has substantial tannins that coats the palate. Notes of strawberry for sure. The nose has a subtle bouquet of dark berries and a small mint of leather trying to eek it's way in.

Mild, light in body, aroma of strawberry and oak. Good balance between tart and sweet. Subtle pepper finish. Quite pleasant.

Only ok. Not very complex, lacking most of the traditional Chianti “bite”, and a bit juice-like in the aftertaste.

Vintage: 2015. Another great find at Trader Joe’s. Smooth with decent tannins. Let breathe for about 1 hour. Great bottle to drink when you just want a glass as this may be even better on the 2nd day after opening.
