Fresh cherry, raspberry and red fruit, very young, from an Italian winery that’s been making Chianti since the 1700s. This particualr vintage was a basic, easy drinker that will be much better in 5 years. Scarlet red colour, light, dusty nose. Decanted for an hour before drinking.

The oak and cherries really come together nicely on this one. Not very complex, but man it's good.

Possibly could have done with a bit of aerating. Decent enough - slightly oaky edge to it that needed air, flavours of cherry through it. Smooth enough.

Interesting bottle shape. Bright ruby color. Aromas of red raspberry, strawberry and sour cranberry fruit with slight touches of violets and menthol. More cooked berry fruit on the palate with hints of tobacco and pepper spice. Very earthy (but a bit short) finish. Vibrant acidity which is somewhat sharp. Thanks for opening this one, Chris B!
