Average chianti, a little too bitey for my liking.

Popped and poured. First thing I noticed was the sediment. Dark ruby almost maroon color. Floral bouquet. Sweet tobacco with dark fruit. Plum with a hint of licorice and balanced. Medium body. The dark fruit is balanced with red raspberry, and isn't overly dry and tart like a lot of Chiantis. Should be decanted. Medium dry finish. 86
