Vintage 2022 | wine like this must have been in the basket bottles when it was populair a generation ago. Explosion of blackberries, no pretentions but nothing but JOY! Fruits, easy drinking happiness. Paired with a pork cutlet and ice berg lettuce from the wok with oystersauce.

A standard no-character Chianti. Goes down real smooth though. I'd have it for lunch.

Oscar Goldman gives an approving nod when this appeared on the table at Steve Austin's wedding to Jaime Sommers. That bionic arm would come in handy for faster drinking, Oscar thinks to himself.

- Oodles of taste.
- Spices, with an after-note of acidity.
- Let breath to allow full flavor to open.
- flavor profiles change with time.

Red berry, mulberry, ripe plum and violets notes. Smooth, elegant and well balanced. Lightly spicy.

L'ho trovato a Costco. Era il sconto (10 dollari). Non c'e male per la nostra cena. Sangiovese sarebbe il nostra favorite in gusto.
