Vintage 2010 - not my type, rather one dimensional

The acidity is already felt in the nose. :) Also leather and chocolate and some cherries. Very good though typical chianti classico

Great modern take on Chianti. Dark sour cherry, darker profile overall, smoother tannin structure vs pure Sangiovese, some cedar softness from the 10% Bordeaux varieties in barrique

This is a bit of a slap round the chops. Can’t sip and forget about it. Acidity and bitterness hides the identity of flavours in my opinion. This could pair well with a strong cheese. Maybe i’ll come back to this in 10 years and appreciate it as my tastes have matured, but for now it’s not really my bag.

Totally quaffable. This one's rough around the edges, but it holds up for a fun evening of Uno with old friends. It gets the job done.

Let you breath for a while and then finish it at normal pace. Don’t let it sit for too long.

Bit of 💅 on the nose, ripe and grainy tannins, bit chewy, tart of green pepper and besides of black currant we have some plummy oaky taste as well playing in the mouth. Long finish with medium acidity and 👍 price makes it very good offer.
