Tart unripe red fruit. Also getting citrus on the nose. I swear it's orange.

Not bad for a Chianti! Fruity and a bit spicy and oaky on the finish. $22.

Light body and quickly fading finish makes this lose points for me. Tannic but comfortably so. Lingonberry character on the acidity. Unripe cherries, wooden notes and dried herbs.

Nuuhkaisu lasiin tuo nenään monipuolisen paletin kirsikkaa, nahkaa, lihaisuutta ja yrttejä. Maku on tumma, kirsikkaisen hapokas, hennosti tupakkainen ja maltillisen tanniininen.
