Ruby rust, with ripe red fruit, raisins and cherries, well balanced and smooth. Mature. Easily the best Chianti I’ve had. Impressive!

Nose is very smoky.

Palate is smoke. So young impossible to rate. Very slight cherry fruit. Could be very elegant and good. Lots of acidity.

Jammy with lots of currants. bay leaves mid-palate with a Spice finish. Goes well with the chianina Florentine steak.
