Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
The last of my 6 bottles. I usually don't let regular Classico get this old but man this is nice. Freshly dug gravelly soil, dark cherries, rose petals. Great linearity of flavors. Whacks the mouth with macerated cherries and then turns dark minerally fast. Clings like crazy. Still some tannin. Can't believe I got this for about $9 a bottle at a Zachys close out.

A great #chianticlassico for bolognese & a movie at home. Surprisingly velvety, smooth texture - thanks @Andrew Lampasone #WineWatch
