One of the best value wines I think I’ve had, period. For under $30 this is an incredible Chianti Classico. Red fruit aromas positively leap from the glass. Tannins are definitely there but this manages to stay quite refined almost and delivers really beautiful fruit. The finish is lifting with great acid and a hint of menthol. Really delicious, need to find more.

The 2018 Chianti Classico is full of character. A dollop (10%) of whole clusters add striking aromatic presence to the Sangiovese fruit. Deceptive in its mid-weight style, the Classico delivers tons of punchiness and flavor intensity, with the structure to develop beautifully in bottle for many years to come. The 2018 spent a whopping two months on the skins and was aged for 18 months in stainless steel and cement. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

バニラ、ちょい甘草ちっくな甘いアロマ。飲んでみるとバラやスミレの花、紫蘇ジュース、鉄っぽさを伴うミネラル。
(恐らくホルスタインの廃牛の)ローストビーフよりも、菜畑とシラス、大根おろしの和物の方が断然合った。
2017よりもショーンのワインらしさが復活!

Extremely flavorful wine! High acidity and medium-weight on the tongue. Moderately sweet.
