Dusty earthy darkfruity nose, extremely tannic on the palate; I can see the need for the 15% merlot in here. Perhaps some aging potential.

Quite a lot of garnet and wide brick rim . Pretty oxidative nose, slightly burnt rubber note , quite a lot of spice , touch bruised red fruits. After a while gets a bit better , dried herbs and sous bois. On the palate quite drying red fruits , a bit of liquorice . Bitty tannins , quite high acidity , pretty rustic . More advanced than I would have expected. Drink now .

Traditional Chianti Classico from a producer I was not familiar with. Extended oak aging for this wine results in a fairly developed, mature wine with slight browning on the rim. The wine was full of red cherry fruit, black plum, licorice, dried Tuscan herbs, tobacco, dusty top soil, warm leather and spice. After a short decant the aroma blew me away on this wine. The nose wasn’t as pronounced on night two, but it was much more integrated. Really surprising and delicious Chianti Classico Riserva at an affordable price.

Classic rustic sangiovese. Purple, red fruits on the nose. Moderate - low tannin, short aftertaste. Good with poker and cheese.
