This is exceptionally good. Nose has ripe pomegranate and zingy dark cherry fruit, a ton of liquid minerals, a nose-tingling chalk dust note, spice, and mahogany furniture. Lots going on. In the mouth the minerality is intense, accompanying dense bone dry cherry extract. Tightly-wound, unusually for an ‘18, there is lots of fine-grained tannin and intense acids. Really enjoyable for its athleticism right now, this will age beautifully.

Deep value on this wine. Punches way above its cost and definitely a classic Tuscan wine of all sorts of leather and baking, spices and dusty red brick and etc., etc. that people spoken about for years. For the price it can’t be beat.

Delicious wine with rich aromas and nice fruit. There is initially some dark chocolate or coffee bitterness but the next day has soften. Love it! Have to get more next time. 22.99 @ WH.

This is fine and enjoyable. But Chianti Classico keeps being the most underwhelming region for me. Lacks energy.
