This is Chianti! Has agreed gracefully and could continue to age for many years. Bitter chocolate, tart cherry, tobacco, wet forest floor, and lots of balsamic!

Plush, dark and carrying it's oak incredibly well; still undeniably Sangiovese despite the touch of merlot.

Dried cherries and a pleasant dried fruit character with classic dusty tannins. A wonderful freshness but lacking depth. This bottle is not showing as well as others. Missing length and intensity.
