Drinking beautifully now. Nose has macerated wild cherry, and savory minerality. Developing a secondary note of aged, well cared for leather. Rather full in the mouth. Deep fruit and a lengthy, minerally gravel-laced finish. Medium acids are kind of sneaky, coming on as the finish extends. Still some very soft tannin present. Lots of character for the money.
UPDATE: Night 2, nose is now showing a crushed rosemary leaf note

One of my first chiantis and enjoyed it! Has an irony flavor to it, but I think that’s likely consistent with Chiantis in general. Would have again but would like to try others to compare

Excellent with extra oily thin crust pizza, and fat pepperoni laden Sicilian squares.
