Meh. Nose is good with minerally gravel and dark cherry. Good initial attack but gets lean and fades quickly. This was better last year. Drink up.

Interesting Chianti Classico! Soft and lighter bodied then a traditional Chianti. Velvety smooth. More organics than fruit as age has mellowed the cherry flavors. Mushrooms, Tobacco, Wet Forest Floor. Nice Wine. Thank You John P!
