Love the nose. Deep, sweet/sour cherry, loads of sweet, pungent minerality, meadow flowers. In the mouth it’s still very youthfully vigorous, with a deep initial whack of zingy, pure, concentrated cherry, but then it tightens up as the crisp acids and the sneaky tannins make an entrance. This will improve over the next few years but is really fine now.

Looks like strawberries in the glass. Spring flowers on the nose. Red fruits burst to life on the palete. Displays precision with bright acidity. A pleasant surprise...

Youthful, intense, bright, tangy sour cherry fruit. Exciting Chianti Classico.
