I love this old school wine. Macerated chokecherry, a balsamic note, gravelly earth. A touch of V.A. Minerally and intense, great acidity, lots of savory flavors.

May 27th, 2019This is a supremely enjoyable Chianti. Fabulous nose: raspberry (!) and macerated cherry, a funky yeasty (sponti?) note, dry gravel and crushed rock, baking spices. Chiseled in the mouth, with loads of minerality, great acids, and a long, drying finish where cherry and crushed stone both try to outlast each other. Some decent fine-grained tannin to create structure. Great now, and will get better over the next 2-3 years. Classic.
