Very classic Chianti Classico. Ripe but slightly sour cherry and intense gravelly minerality on the nose. Savory, lean, and intense in the mouth. Aggressive acids. Will actually age nicely for a few more years but nice with pasta and meatballs right now.
UPDATE: Over the course a several hours, the fruit and weight of this wine filled out progressively. It clearly will age nicely for the next few years, at minimum. Upping score from 9.0 to 9.2
