This is a very elegant Chianti. The color looked a little dull and amber-ish when poured, but Benjamin-Buttoned and gained luminescence and youthfulness with air. Nose has deep, ripe, slightly dried cherry, violets, a kiss of vanilla, and sandstoney gravel. Soft, mouthfilling, nice acids. Fruity up front, with slightly tart cherry-syrup extract, turning savory on the soft, dry finish. Only slight detracting note is a tad bit of heat on the very tail. So good and entering its prime.
