Lacked character and energy. Just not interesting or enjoyable to drink.

Beatiful bottle. Just enough richness. Powerful tannin. Plums, leather, tobacco shot through with sunlight

This is another great vintage for San Giusto. The nose showed a thrilling and intense display of crushed raspberry, cherry, dusty floral tones, cedar, and spice. On the palate, I found silky textures offset by a vibrant core of acidity, showing tart red berries, charred meat, minerals, savory herbs and fine tannin. The finish was long, with its saturating red fruits and savory tones, yet most notable was it's saline minerality, which lingered for well over a minute.

Lovely transparent bright red colour, red cherry taste profile with tannins well integrated. Relatively simple, pleasant. Had in decanter over course of an evening and did improve.

A little rougher around the edges, but nice medium body with round red fruit

Translucent and weightless in the glass, the San Giusto a Rentennano’s 2013 Chianti Classico boasts extraordinary finesse. Sweet red cherry, hard candy, tobacco, mint, crushed flowers and new leather are some of the nuances that grace the exquisite finish. (AG)
