Excellent chianti riserva, touch of oak at first, but underneath swaths of mineral cherry fruit, long and graceful and mouthfilling. Needs time for oak to peel away from nose, but palate is astounding, layered with savoury orange and cherry. Among the best chiantis I've had in $30 range.

Chiantis were not my favorite, but this one after decanting it for 20 minutes it's superb.
