Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
Sangiovese 100%, with just the right amount of wood. I've tasted this vintage in 2012, 13, 14 and now. Perfect window is now. Must be slow decanted to avoid the shedding. Love it.

Barnyard forward, with cherries, leather, new oak (cedar and vanilla), this is rocking right now. Long tannins, medium+ acid, medium body.

Garnet in color. Aromas of black cherry, plum, violet, coffee and a hint of pepper spice. Pallet features the black cherries with tobacco, almonds and a touch of orange zest. Nice medium earthy finish. Very bright acidity. Firm tannins. Elegant.

On the darker side for Chianti. Lot of violet on nose. Cherry and cola. Grippy tannins. Duped into this by Bob. Had with leftover Summer Bolognese.

Raspberry and cherry, not too tart, maybe some violets. Nice oak influence with some spice and vanilla, smooth finish without grippy drying tannins.
