I was impressed. Tried another Chianiti from Aldi’s a while back that wasn’t good and the one I had before it wasn’t as good as a nice red wine. Was leery trying another Chianti This one is very good.

Cherry and almond, very easy going palate with great balance, cherry, a soft touch, gentle tannins, and a long cherry finish. Not complex, not grand but very good for what it is supposed to do,bring instant pleasure.
