Fantastic, drinking well young after a splash decant. Simple and precise. Pure red berry fruit balanced with woody/tobacco. Structured, vibrant, and long.

Earthy, mushrooms, leather, cherries, little bit of cinnamon jolly rancher, herbs. Haven’t had a Chianti in a long time. Nice to revisit. Nice long weekend is on the horizon. Hope everyone is staying safe with so many disasters happening all at one. ☹️

1/2021. While my experience with Chianti is limited this is I’m one of the few that I have enjoyed. Nice fruit and finish. Paired well with the wheat spaghetti with red sauce and sausage.

It's very good. For a chianti. A Cherry and an oak with some hints of leather. But the finish is interesting: spicy and long.
